Influences: You probably wouldn't see him coming. Upcoming producer, Jason "Jaywan" Zeglis, is already changing the game from indie to major. Producing tracks for artists such as Juelz Santana, BootCamp Click, Sqad Up, Spot, and Snyp Life amongst others, the future is bright. "I always listened to the beat first rather than the lyrics when I was growing up. I knew I wanted to be the guy who made the music instead of the guy rapping'" says Jay. Listening to everything from disco, soul, rock, pop and eventually delving into hip hop and r&b in 1990, its hard to believe he's only been producing for 7 years. Music runs in Jay's blood, as his grandmother was a famous opera and folk singer up until the 1990s when she retired.Some of the upcoming projects he's working on is Bumpy J, Red Cafe, Sha Stimuli, MTV, Fox Television, ESPN and others. What's his plans for the future? "I would like to keep working with good, established artists and to have a publishing deal in the near future."said Jay. He also mentioned that he's interested in landing a production deal with a major to develop his own artists and to get more into Film/TV and Gaming.
