JAY MICHAELZ If there was ever a time that music needed a change, now is the time and Jay Michaelz is the man. Born Michael Gibson II to devout Christian parents, Jay Michaelz still relies on his spiritual upbringing to keep his mind focused on what is important in life and his music. This down to earth, shy, 23 year old says that he has to keep it real with himself as well as others when it comes to writing and performing songs. Jay knew early on that he was destined to be a star. He joined his first musical group in middle school and experimented with different groups in high school trying to find the style that was right for him. Nothing really clicked until a close friend introduced him to Detroit producer, Dayla. When the two hooked up shortly thereafter to record a hit song, they instantly knew that it was the beginning of an undeniably magical combination that will change music forever. The album is entitled UNCLE CHOCOLATE. Jay Michaelz burst onto the Detroit music scene in 2005 with a number of performances such as John Mason 25th Anniversary Celebration on the princess Detroit Riverboat. He has also performed at the Festival of trees in Novi, as well as various public school events. Expect good music, meaningful lyric and excellent presentation. Jay Michaelz is an artist who believes music still has the power to change lives.
