The 27 year old
entertainer was born Jerome Reid in
St Mary, Jamaica but at the age of eleven he relocated to Anguilla with his
mother shortly after the death of his father.
Music has been
his outlet to share the experiences that he has been through.
‘When I lost my
dad, my struggles through life began. During my early childhood years I
travelled on foot many miles to school. After moving to Anguilla I spent my
teenage years working in the field learning various trades including wood work,
landscaping, fishing, construction and dealing with livestock. Music has always
been my first love and it has inspired me in many ways’, Jay Khule said in a release to the media.
Jay
Khule is a born again Christian. He
participates in several community projects and gives of his time in various
organizations.
‘When I was
twenty I discovered not only my love for music but that I had a hidden talent
in singing. Soon after I began composing and recording my own tracks in reggae
and rhythm and blues. The art of music has now become my life and passion and
my goal is to spread a positive message to the world through song’, said Jay Khule.
Relocating to
Anguilla, Jay
Khule realized it wasn’t easy trying to adjust
to the cultural difference.
‘It was
difficult at first but as time went by, I got adjusted to the lifestyle in
Anguilla’, he explained.
Jay
Khule, who is
presently in Jamaica working on musical projects, said the collaboration with Shane O came about through connections he made. He
said the response to the collaboration has been positive to date.
Having made his
recording debut in 2009 with the self-produced Home Affairs, he pointed out
that the musical journey has been very inspiring for him.
He said
producing positive music to impact the lives of the youths and to motive them
is of significance to him.
He also noted
that Home
Affairs and Unruly were
among his more familiar work. To date he has worked with producers including Richie Loop and Chris Gold.
Jay
Khule is currently in the studios working with
producer Adrian ‘Donsome’ Hanson. He
has a number of projects to be released over the next couple of months.
