His life is a song! His ministry is a blessing!
His exceptional vocal talent on this project takes melody and harmony in a completely new direction. This project is an authentic masterpiece communicating a noble and majestic distinction with a refreshing style. The project immediately establishes a dialogue with the melody and the lyrics. Such profoundness affirms an uplifting and liberating factor to the listening ear. The sheer depth and intensity of his stylistic diversity on this project simply raises the bar of excellence. Amazingly, his vocal qualities encompass an exceptional abundance of inspiration and rhythmic directness with a caliber that is profound. He effortlessly sings with a personalized melodic/harmonic blend on each cut.
Jai’s compelling musical heritage is rooted and grounded in the rich and distinct musical culture of the “Big Easy” New Orleans. Singing is not foreign to Jai. When he was six years old, he started singing for friends, family and local church groups. As a teenager, he became a member of the group Endurance; along with group members William Maxwell, Bryon Pierce (Men of Standard), Edward West (Collage) and the late Michael Robinson. This group launched Jai’s professional music career.
Currently, Jai holds elite recognition of being nominated for the 24th Annual Stellar Awards as New Artist of the Year Award 2009. He gave an extraordinary performance of his single “Anointed Me” on the Stellar’s national televised show. He can also be seen on the Bobby Jones program on the Word Network. Jai gave a remarkable performance for Dr. Bobby Jones’ 70th birthday celebration.
Other significant accomplishments for Jai are quite impressive. He was the nominee of the Big Easy Foundation for a Big Easy Music Award in the category of Best Gospel Individual along with Bishop Paul Morton and Jai was announced the “Winner.” He was the Stellar Gospel Music Awards nominee for Male Vocalist and Video of the Year. God’s magnificent favor rests upon Jai Reed in phenomenal measure as he has opened for Mary, Mary at the House of Blues in New Orleans and Mary J. Blige at the New Orleans Arena.
A quick glance at Jai’s repertoire of performances is stunningly extraordinary. He has toured with two outstanding stage plays, Michael Matthew’s production of “Mama I’m Sorry” and Tyler Perry’s “I Know I’ve Been Changed.”
Jai’s musical career is remarkably extensive, he was formerly a member of the group Nu-Beginnings with two remarkably gifted vocalists, Melaney Batiste and Erica Falls. They released their debut project entitled “Where He Leads Me.”
His international credits yield outstanding performances too. Jai has traveled abroad with Jai Reed & Company for a 10 city tour of France in 2009. As a member of Nu-Beginnings jai has traveled to such places as Brazil, France, Spain, Italy, Finland and other venues. In 2001, the group recorded their second project “Live In Brazil,” abroad. He has blessed the masses globally with his music, message and ministry. Their domestic credits are also quite impressive. The group performed at the House of Blues Gospel Tribute. He performed as a solo artist for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival 2009 and the Essence Festival Gospel Brunch in New Orleans 2004.
In 2000, Jai blessed the masses with his debut solo project “I Can’t Repay.” This blessings and anointing on this project were bountiful to his fans and multiple listeners throughout the United States and abroad.
