MJaye + Musician in Seattle, WA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hello! I'm a vocalist who plays a little piano (mostly chords/comping/songwriting).

Up until a couple of years ago I used to front some local blues/soul/jazz bands. Now as things open up, I’m really just interested in finding other music makers who are more interested in fun, friendship, and connection than they are in performing. I'm not opposed to gigging if it feels right, but I'm definitely of the mind of connection and fun first.

I’m also a newbie songwriter and I’d love to find some good folx to collaborate with and ideally record songs together.

I’ve recently been involved in a collaboration with a Muscle Shoals original, and his encouragement has inspired me to take the next step of finding a band to work with on my tunes (and theirs!).

I’m also always happy to do interesting covers of songs we love. Open to many options as long as the chemistry is there.

Moving to Michigan summer 2023.

If you don't have a paid account and want to message me, I can be contacted at mosbyjaye at gee mail. More tracks at mosbyjaye dot com.
