Meet Jay Saint | Interview

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jay Saint and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jay, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor in the success of my brand is to ensure, that at all times, I am authentic and remaining true to who I am as an artist.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As an ever-evolving recording artist, my art is a reflection of my journey, experiences, and emotions. What sets me apart is my unique perspective and the authenticity I bring to my music. I’m proud of the growth I’ve achieved and the connections I’ve made with listeners through my work.

My journey hasn’t been easy, but each challenge has been an opportunity for growth. I’ve overcome obstacles through perseverance, resilience, and a strong support system. Along the way, I’ve learned the importance of staying true to myself, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and surrounding myself with positivity.

What I want the world to know about me is that my music is a reflection of my truth, and I hope it resonates with others on a personal level. My brand is built on authenticity, creativity, and connection, and I strive to inspire others to pursue their passions fearlessly.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate my shout out to my high school choir teacher, Brother Bob. Brother Bob recognized my talents and always pushed for me to be in the forefront when it came to solos as well as teaching the class things he wanted to emphasize vocally. I’ve never in my life felt more important and seen.
