It would be easy to cross over to the pop records like everyone else but that’s not who I am – Jay Deuce
Genre: R&B
There’s been a lot of talk this year about the state of R&B. There have been entire articles on it and I even did a post declaring that R&B isn’t dead.
Artists like Jay Deuce are determined to prove that notion wrong and to make sure that the traditional sound stays alive.
Jay Deuce had some break through success early in his career, garnering 82k hits for his singles “Ain’t Fuckin Wit Me”, “Jay Deuce” and “Say Yes“before taking a brief hiatus from the music scene.
He’s back now with his debut album “Justice” that’s set to be independently released on May 26th on ITunes.
The first single off the album is called “Runway” and sets the scene for sensual lovemaking with him essentially declaring his woman as the model and the bedroom as her runway.
Jay Deuce shared the single with us and also took a minute to answer 5 quick questions for our indie spotlight series.
Describe your music for someone who hasn’t heard it before.
Traditional R&B music, that tells stories of love lust and heartbreak like the good days, in a smooth sexy and sensual way. I’m all about feeling and connecting with people on an emotional level.
What inspired you to pursue a music career? What inspired you to pursue a music career?
The way I felt hearing music growing up and seeing how excited and good it made people feel. I wanted to be a part of it.

Greatest career accomplishment to date?
My debut album Justice releases on May 26th. By far it’s my greatest achievement yet. It’s been a long time coming.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Changing the perception that R&B is dead. It would be easy to cross over to the pop records like everyone else but that’s not who I am.
That’s a challenge we R&B artists fight constantly. It’s tough because sometimes you have to check yourself and not give into the perceptions and just keep making good music.

Who is your favorite artist?
What are your music career goals?
To successfully release the album, tour and get a record deal. Breaking through on the Billboard charts will happen within the next three years and that’s for me as an artist and a writer.
