The Ultimate R&B Entertainer "Jay Bryan"

Jay Bryan Performing in front of huge audiences at shows like Mr. Legon, Miss Legon, Face of Legon 2003 & 2004, KSM shows, and A Nite with the Stars Ghana. Jay Bryan, a new born Ghanaian R&B artiste hopes his musical career will take him to new heights in the worldwide music industry.

"From all the shows I?ve been, people come and see me at the backstage to make enquiries about my song or make sure it?s not a copyrighted song I?ve made", Jay Bryan tells us more about his entrance in the music industry.

Demonstrating a new level of vocal and creative maturity, Jay Bryan's R&B songs will be talking about love, inspirations and motivations. He likes R. Kelly style of singing because he thinks it?s different and sounds as if he's rapping or singing.

His love for singing started when he was in class five, with a friend in a group who was a rapper whilst he did the chorus. The friend had to travel so he thought he had the capabilities of going solo and also had the flair in singing in English and Twi.

With huge singles like ?Friday Night? and ?It?s You?, he's determined to take Ghanaian R&B to the international level. His step dad and mum, Helen Nana Adowa Brenya, Virginia Morlina believed in his talent and appeal, and helped him in supportive ways with lyrics, love, inspiration and money.

Jay Bryan smiles when talking about his first demo tracks which was ?Adowa?, ?Last night?, ?Obi Pe?, ?She is strange" all slow paced jam songs.  He hopes to come out March 05 with 18 solid tracks but has only recorded 12 tracks for now. His album would be complete without the likes Mensah, Loon, KB, and Kwesi Ben.

He will be recording at Eternal Studios and Hush Hush Studios. His upcoming album would eventually make him one of the hottest R&B male teen idols in the world. He mentions Felix Owusu as someone who has played an important role in his life.

Aside from his musical career, Jay Bryan is a student at Academy of Screen Acting, Legon and hopes to be an editor, director and script writer of movies. He likes cooking, writing film scripts, swimming, singing and resides at Tema.

Jay Bryan knows Ghanaians purchase more foreign songs which are R&B?s, so since his album will be a good R&B album to buy. ?My album won?t just be for the youth, but for the old as well because it has different flavours?, he added more convincing words.

"He give thanks to his parents ? mum and step-dad, KB, Helen, Virginia, Jerry Denise, Montr?al?, Yaw Amponsah, Fredrick Koomson, Daniel Adotey, Benni Anti, William of Meridian FM, Kojo Frimpong and Cox Tamakloe of Joy FM, and grandmother".
