About

Jay's journey in music began at thirteen, when he started performing live and developed a deep passion for songwriting. Over the years, he built an impressive catalog of original compositions, gaining recognition as a fantastic and respected songwriter within the music industry, with a talent for writing both for himself and other artists.

He formed The Jay France Band, known for their high-energy live shows, becoming a sought-after act across the UK. In 2020, Jay joined the UK's leading ska and reggae group, The Dualers, performing to over 7,000 fans at the iconic OVO Arena Wembley. His musical journey led to performances at prestigious festivals like Glastonbury and Spain’s Rototom Sunsplash.

In addition to performing, Jay has found fulfillment in running a successful music teaching business, bringing the joy of music to underprivileged children and individuals with learning difficulties. His dedication to music education reflects his passion for making a positive impact.

In 2022, Jay co-created Voices From The Sun with The Dualers, which achieved chart success and landed on the Radio 2 playlist. Building on this success, Jay embarked on a solo career and, with support from Sunbeat Records, recorded War Against Boredom in 2023. The album’s 14 original tracks blend indie and ska, featuring collaborations with Tyber Cranstoun and the musical director for James Morrison.

Critics have compared Jay's work to Arctic Monkeys and Jamie T, and he's now recognized as a driving force in today’s music scene.

In 2024, Jay will launch the War Against Boredom tour, bringing his dynamic performances to prestigious venues, where fans can experience the album live.
