Bio

Who is Mikey Jay? Well he is definitely no stranger to the music industry. He is a 2x award winning Music Producer/Lyricist, and a hit maker! More than a producer, this New York City born writer/lyricist has been making music since age 13. With influences stemming from producers such as Michael Jackson, Diamond D, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Doctor Dre, the RZA and DJ Premier (as well as others), Mikey Jay has grown up to become a force to be reckoned with. He is an entertainer, a crowd pleaser, and his multi-dimensional mind is what sets him apart from others in the industry. He is always going left with his craft, and if you look up the words talented or gifted you will see his picture right next to them. With production credits from artists such as Bonecrusher, Jason Fox, Nicole Wray, Jaz-o, Rampage, Grandmaster Caz, & KRS-One to name a few, Mikey has appeared on numerous cable access channels & radio shows. In 2007 & 2009 he was a Guest Judge on B.E.T.’s 106th & Park’s Freestyle Friday. In 2007 he was a Special Guest on B.E.T.’s Rap City Producer’s Week.

He has performed in many showcases, shows and events such as the Funkmaster Flex Car Show in Ocean City, Maryland. In 2007 he toured with pioneer Emcee Kool Keith and gained a whole new fan base. Mikey has since become a headliner for other major events. In 2007 he won 2 Mic Check awards, and in 2008 he was the recipient of an Independent Music Award and an Excellence Award from Coconation for best hip-hop & production.
