Jay was born the youngest of 5 very adventurous children in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Shortly after, they all moved to a suburb outside Chicago, and Jay discovered his love of music. First with the piano, then moving on to drums, guitar, bass, stringed instruments and even the accordion. In his early twenties A twist of fate brought him to the attention of Herb Cohen, a giant in the music industry, who saw Jay’s potential and agreed become his manager. Before long Jay was picked up by Columbia Records and began being hired as a session player for other major labels around the world. This was the beginning of Jay’s 3 decade career as a gun-for-hire, playing with some of the biggest names in show business. Because of his widely varied musical background Jay found it easy to slip from one genre to another, and have fun doing it! He decided to take a hiatus a few years ago to work on his first solo album, “Plain Brown Wrapper”, consisting of original songs that he wrote and composed himself. The first single off the album, “All By Oursleves”, was released in early summer and is moving up the charts. We are very excited to release the second single, “Change”, as a continuation of our message to the world. Look for the full album release this winter, and follow JCB on social media to show your support!

Sharpening his teeth by years of producing undercover for other artists, Sekhem Mahata (Power of Maat) began to feel that no one was going far enough. That everyone was trying too hard to fit inside the box, not break out of it. In 2017, he decided that he would try his foot at introducing new musical ideas to the world, maybe even re-introducing classic vibes. With the breakthrough hit 60 S3C0NDS pushing much faster than expected, Sekhem sits ready to release a slew of new music into the mainstream.

When it comes to writing a great song, Mark has the extraordinary talent to spin a memorable melody and pair it with lyrics that spark the imagination. Mark found the family piano in the living room at the young age of 3 years old, and has been attached to it ever since. His mother, also a musician and performer used to sing for various organizations, and change costumes for each act. During these costume changes, Mark at the age of 6 would perform for the audiences until Mom returned to the stage. Mark gave his first concert at 6 years old. By the time he was 8 he was already writing music and lyrics to his own songs and by 13 years old had his own band, and started learning the ropes of recording and producing a record.

Mark grew up listening to, performing and appreciating all genres of music, but felt country music speaks to ones soul like no other. The catchy melodies, heartfelt feeling and clever lyrics and stories really tug at the listeners emotions. I really love the idea of telling a story, with a memorable melody and lyrics that make you smile, or bring a tear to your eye. Some songs just stay with you a lifetime. Those are truly special.

Mark has spent many years writing, producing and performing for himself and other artists, as well as writing and producing songs for film and TV.

Fast forward to his latest song, Id Rather Watch Some Football and Mark takes his usual optimistic outlook on life and looks at the fun things we all experience and think about.

For Mark Winter, music is how he expresses his life. The happy times, the difficult times and everything in between can be experienced in his songs and music. Keep listening.
