Today we’d like to introduce you to Jay Arlington.
Jay, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
With one chapter closed and a brand new one lies ahead, woke up this morning feeling blessed and grateful to make it another 365 around this earth, present June month. Growing up in the City Of Angeles, born in 1997 on June 20th, I was born and raised on 30th St and Arlington Jefferson Park District. Grew up struggling with a single mom and two siblings opened into a path provided a route for me to the streets to get money. Everything conducted me to jail for four years. How does Jay Arlington rock his Music Artistry as a Hip-Hop recording artist. I’ve learned to just let life take its course. An enterprising mind is a powerful one and I’m undertaking giving it one’s best shot making every great effort astute. You can bet on it, I’m standing in truth with my voice needs to be louder wanna express everything in my music. Now I move with purpose, with conscious decisions leading the way! Above it all, Completely blessed, grateful, and thankful for my son and my family. It’s such an honor to be the grandson of Motown’s Queen Mary Wells and the son of Meech Wells, Music Producer. Huge shoutouts to my pops for always just supporting and being my mentor and my big bro Sean Wells, Music Producer, for his support as well.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it hasn’t been an easy path for myself. Living is such a blessing, giving thanks to God just for showing me how to stay focused and loyalty to my integrity character which has given such an honorable truth, especially with the challenges I’ve learned to accept and had to experience facing the reality inside my own life purposes being in jail for four years. Previously I spent my four years in jail, I really thought I was going to lose my hope for the best years ahead. My son is my first priority, then family. The challenges that I personally had to overcome was just believing in myself knowing the careful thought in my very own reflection needs to change some parts of my own reality in a constructive way so that I can be the illustrious monumental dad to my son, teaching him precisely guidance to do things correctly.
My journey has really came a long way since I truly opened up my heart to music writing down everything in feeling my own concede pain on how I lost four years from my life to the jail system. Yo for that moment all I can say was Damn, I have a voice to be heard through my music and I truly have an amazing story to share. I just need one more chance to show the world what I can execute with my music, hopefully one day someone just notice my virtue and give me the opportunity to share my very own story through my music at the Music Festivals and the Film Movie Screens. So staying out of jail minding my very own business with excellence music in studio sessions are really good and changing my entire life around in a motivational way.
