Jay-Elle is a Brooklyn based singer/songwriter from South Carolina known for blending folk-tronica, synth pop and dance.
At a young age, Jay-Elle began writing music on the guitar and piano, and quickly became fascinated with complex vocal harmony after joining a jazz choir in school. After re-locating to New York City, he was moved by its fast-paced nature, its rhythms, and its contradictions and started to lean into music production. He cites @Stevie Nicks, @Bon Iver, and Kanye West as inspirations.
