Jay Wy is a rising artist from Portland, Oregon, and his music is all about real life. He doesn’t try to sound like anyone else. He tells the truth about what he’s been through, and that’s why people are starting to notice him. Jay calls his music “Rap Soul” because it’s full of emotion but still has the bounce of hip-hop.
He’s inspired by artists like Drake, Lil Wayne, Tory Lanez, and Bryson Tiller. But Jay Wy doesn’t copy their sound. Instead, he uses his own voice and story to make music that hits home. Whether he’s going through something hard or remembering a tough moment from the past, he turns those feelings into lyrics that people can relate to.
Jay says he always starts a song with the hook because that’s the part people remember. From there, he writes verses that come from the heart. He believes music should have meaning. He doesn’t care about chasing trends. He just wants people to feel something when they listen.
His new song “Know The Difference” shows exactly what he’s about. It’s real, it’s honest, and it sounds great. Jay Wy is building his name by staying true to himself, and fans are starting to pay attention.
