J. Jay on SoundBetter

Professional grade lyrics. Any genre. Quick turn-around time. Free revisions. Check out the snippet of a song I wrote and co-produced, located to the right.

I'm J. Jay. I'm a songwriter, producer, and engineer with 5 years experience and a bachelor's degree in "Music Industry & Technology" (composition/production/engineering/music business). I might not be right for your project if it calls for basic, vanilla lyrics. I add value to songs by helping them to become catchy, relatable, visceral, and emotionally-gripping. When it comes to lyrics, I like to find a balance between painting a vivid mental picture, yet still keeping the content approachable to the listener. I can write at a professional level in any genre. I specialize in pop, hip hop, EDM, and country. These are just a few of the artists who I specialize in the writing style of: Selena Gomez, Drake, Sam Hunt, Maren Morris, Eric Church, Thomas Rhett, Taylor Swift, Bebe Rexha, Migos, The Chainsmokers, Ed Sheehan, and Chris Stapleton. I work quickly. With that being said, I strive to not turn in a project until I am 100% satisfied and proud of my work. In certain scenarios, I can send you your finished project within 24-48 hours. Other times, it can take up to 1 week. Prices vary depending on the project, as well as how quickly you want it to be completed.

I have worked with J. Jay a multiple times and always blown away by the results. He is extremely knowledgeable in multiple genres of music and understands what it takes to take a song from good to great. He writes interesting lyrics and catchy melodies. I would highly recommend him as a writer for any project.

Interview with J. Jay

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: writing lyrics and vocal melodies / being the "idea guy" when it comes to starting a new song / coming up with the story/theme of the song / coming up with an inviting and catchy title
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise my clients that they will be happy with, impressed by, and enjoy working with the final product that I deliver.

A: Tell the provider everything that's on your mind when it comes to the project, more specifically the things on your mind that pertain to the provider's part of the project.
