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.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
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.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
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.
