Hey, I'm Jay
I work with artists to put feeling into words, make art into product, and turn observers into fans.
Writing
Creative Direction
Public Relations
I’m a writer with bylines in Bandcamp and other music blogs, as well as my own music blog: Listen Up, Nerds. I write reviews of new releases, and I’m available to interview/profile artists of any discipline. I’m able to write blurbs, essays, and bios for your band for your social media/Spotify/Bandcamp.
I am a creative director with experience in branding for small fashion upstarts as well as merchandising for bands and artists. I’m here to provide a holistic approach to branding and an experiential feel to your next drop.
I’m available for public relations work including creating a press kit, writing press releases, reaching out to journalists, and helping you form lasting relations in your scene.
