TESTIMONIALS
ROSS KING
Recording Artist & Award Winning Songwriter
(Cade Thompson, Micah Tyler, Jordan Feliz, Newsboys, We Are Messengers)
“Not only is Jay incredibly gifted at creating the perfect sound and mood for any song, he’s also a wonderful human being who always brings joy and encouragement to the session. He’s a rare combination of a true professional and a guy you just want to know and be around. I can’t remember a single time I’ve worked with him that didn’t result in a great song and a good day.”
TONY WOOD
Dove Award Winning Songwriter w/ 33 #1 songs
(Riley Clemmons, Micah Tyler, Hawk Nelson, Mandisa, Matt Redman, Selah, Reba McEntire)
“In working with Jay, I’ve always loved the tracks and melodies he creates. He works with a “we’ve got this, but what if . . “ spirit. I love the gentle creative push in that. Always a great hang, and that matters!”
