John Jay

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is leading my first song in a children's choir. My Aunt Jodi, the choir director trusted me to lead "The Lord Will Make A Way" by Hezekiah Walker & Love Fellowship Crusade Choir. I was excited and fearless. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Marvin Winans And The Perfected Praise Choir, Introducing Perfected Praise Ricky Dillard & New G, 7th Episode: Live in Toronto Twinkie Clark, Home Once Again: Live in Detroit I love Ricky Dillard's 7th episode because it was my first time singing on a live recorded album. "Home Once Again" by Twinkie Clark is a hidden gem, and "Introducing Perfected Praise" is historic. These albums are superb from start to finish. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Better (Live)” I love the song "Better" because it represents everything that I'm trying to say on my latest album. I want people to go after every purposeful dream they have because our lives have so much more meaning when we do what we were created to do. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moments in my career was the live recording of my latest album, "The Dreamer's Session." I got a chance to work with one of my favorite singers, LeJuene Thompson. For me, it was a dream come true. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall and Madison Square garden some day. Even if I'm not the headliner, it would be a dream come true for me.
