His family relocated to Los Angeles in 1986. After Jay finished high school he worked at a record store, where he explored blues, jazz, reggae, punk, R&B, country, and anything else he could get his hands on. He then bought a second hand drum set and taught himself how to play. Immediately he sought out other musicians to collaborate with, and has been at it ever since. Jay has been fortunate enough to have played with many super talented musicians over the years, and has performed and toured all over the west coast. He has played drums on over a dozen LP, EP, single, & compilation releases, and countless other recordings. He has played drums for The Longnecks, Piggyback, Big Wow, The Spitfires, I Buried Paul, and The Condors, just to name a few. Jay’s straight forward, “In the Pocket” style, forges a rock solid rhythm section that keeps your toes tapping.
