Hailing from Memphis's Whitehaven neighborhood, Jai Musiq blends an impressive repertoire of skills for a lush musical soundscape filled with diverse inspirations.
Jai made waves with his good vibe-filled track "Be" From his 2022 album H.I.M., which he stamps as his favorite project to date, "Be" combines an upbeat message, beautiful layered vocals and sounds along and a message about continuing to strive despite the odds. His music is heavily influenced by his time in band and orchestra. Jai draws on his real world experiences to craft songs that echo the spectrum of human emotion, noting that, "humans go through so many emotions and experiences, we don't all live through one vibe our entire lives." It is no surprise that a multifaceted artist would take inspiration from other genre-blending artists like Drake, J.Cole, and Kid Cudi.
Jai showcases this skillset on his most recent releases, J.U.U.G. Volumes I & II, both featuring three tracks with varying vibes. These EPs are a great reminder that Jai is Unabashedly Using his Gifts.
