Available to hire
Hi, I’m Jamie Jay, a multi-disciplinary musician, composer, producer and live music director based in London. Over the last 17+ years I’ve worked across bands, brands and theatre, delivering original music, sonic branding, and live arrangements for a wide range of briefs. I love collaborating with agencies, music supervisors and performers to craft sound that supports storytelling and audience engagement. I’m comfortable in the studio and on stage, taking on roles from composition and production to mixing, sound editing and live musical direction.
For over 12 years, I’ve worked in commercial composition for sync, for a wide range of international agencies. Alongside this, with my band Low Island, I’ve toured globally, earned streaming milestones, and released music that has featured on FIFA and in Spotify playlists. I’ve also contributed music for theatre and education projects, including a commissioned autism awareness anthem recorded at Abbey Road.
