Hello! My name's Jay. I'm 24, I'm from North London and I like to sing silly songs.
It all started back in February 2005, when I was a student at the University of York. I needed a money-raising project to pay for a hitch-hiking trip to Morocco and making a CD seemed like the best idea at the time, cos everyone at open mic night seemed to like my funny songs. I thought maybe some people would buy them. My first CD sold considerably more than I'd imagined (100 within the first month) and I became known around campus as "The Moon Chavs Guy".
In April 2005, I won Banks Basement Tapes Artist of the Month and over the next academic weeks and months, I did more and more open mics on campus, which soon became proper gigs all over the country. By 2007 I'd made 2 more CDs, so I put the best bits from all 3 albums onto one Best of called "20 Songs".
In August 2007 I did a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe called "20 Songs for Free". The BBC came to see it and they liked it so much, they made this video:
(I said loads more than that by the way. I talked for about 40 mins and they just picked their favourite bits.)
In 2009 I won Best Newcomer at the Tuborg Musical Comedy Awards.
These days I'm getting as many gigs as I can and looking for representation.

Here's a video we made for my song "Stealing Food"
And here are 2 more films I made at uni. The second one ("Vegetize Me") won the award for "Best Comedy" at the Screentest Student Film Awards 2007! YAAAAY!!!
