My Music Episode 363 - Jay Moussa-Mann

Jay Moussa-Mann is a singer and songwriter whose songs have been played repeatedly on BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6. With her unique lyrical style, Jay explores themes of love and belonging in her music, writing each song as though it were a scene in a movie. Her songs describe the human moments of life. In 2018 her song Tides of Life was picked up by BBC Introducing Tees. Throughout 2018 and 2019 Jays tracks were played consistently and championed by BBC Introducing. She was invited to play live on the Bob Fischer afternoon show, her tracks were played by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music and in 2019 Jay was invited to play at Twisterella Festival.

Following that she applied for the Do It Differently Award through Help Musicians and was granted funding which enabled her to record her first pop album, working with producer Patrick Jordan (Motions, Young Rebel Set). Her first single off that album, American Tennessee, was chosen in the roundup of BBC Introducing Tees Best of 2021. It won Track of the Week on BBC Tees Introducing and was in the last 50 semi-finalists for the Road to Nashville International Song Contest, chosen out of 20,305 entries.
