Jai was introduced to B-New Entertainment by a friend. " I hope to expand my creativity and possibly collab with other artists, who want this dream just as bad as i do". " I use to hate that I looked different from the other kids in school, because i was asian, but now I’m embracing it and happy to B original and different ". Jai love mixing singing in with rapping, as you can hear when she do a rap verse, she usually adds a little bit of harmonies or singing in it. Jai is currently working on her debut album. The first single off her album " Sip It Slow ", is a great hip hop and r/b song. There's no doubt that this artist will make her mark in the music industry.
