Jay Ghartey is an innovative singer/songwriter/producer. He uses his Ghanaian American background in the sound and feeling of his songs. His music smoothly transitions between Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, highlife and Hiplife; creating a genre of music that is distinctly his own. Jay Ghartey was born in the U.S. and moved to Accra with his family at the age of 9. It was in Accra that his grandmother, a famous Ghanaian singer in her time, taught him the importance of bringing his passion through in his voice.
