Originaly from St. Louis, Missouri, Jay resides in Los Angeles, CA, and has lived in Southern California since 1990.

Always having a home studio, Jay has had both bigger studios and smaller studios.

“These days you don’t have to have racks of expensive outboard gear,” Jay says. “I’ve stripped my entire studio down to a few powerful computers, lots of plugins and a couple of great keyboards. I also use extensively the MUSE Receptor, which allows me to load up many great virtual instruments and play them live with very little latency issues.”

Jay’s studio is in an area in Los Angeles called Mt. Washington, a well kept secret community in the quiet hills just east of Hollywood. The ambiance is peaceful with windows all around looking out to the undeveloped hills.

With a handle on all the latest technology, Jay is able to produce everything from simple organic acoustic piano performances, to innovative world-music landscapes, to full-blown cutting-edge soundtracks.

Jay’s main software is MOTU’s “Digital Performer” and he has used this since Performer version 1, over twenty years ago.

“As long as you’re using good hardware, the workstations are similar. It’s just a matter of which you are most comfortable with. For me, I’m a musician at the core, so I record with MIDI extensively, and DP affords me the best tools for editing.”
