Artist and music producer J(ay).A.D. (Jayson Raymann) is an individual with a distinctive story consisting of dynamics expressed everywhere. Multiculturalism, love for diverse styles of music, a temporary stay in Amsterdam, Bangkok and the return to his native Suriname (Paramaribo). J(ay).A.D.'s musical identity is hybrid with strong references to Grime, Dancehall & Footwork/Juke that came along during periods of a turbulent life. Afro-Surinamese music such as Kawina and Kaseko can be traced further for the trained ear. Moreover, J(ay).A.D.'s work has been praised by Björk, Fact Magazine (Under The Radar), Tek Life, releases of Symbols by Kastle, Footwork understanding Liquorish Dubz and Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge.
