As music aficionados look forward to the summer anthem of the year, Texas-based Nigerian music talent, Morojuoluwa Oke also known as J’ray believes they should look no further. Still riding on the success of ‘Dance’, his last release, the music cum tech whizz believes he can upend the status quo with his upcoming release to deliver what may turn out to be the summer hit of the year.

“There is always something cooking in J’ray’s studio, literally,” he declared recently in a chat and added with enthusiasm, “Whenever I am not coding my life away, I am making beats or at least recording on one. After the release of the Dance video, I will be putting out one of the biggest songs of the summer so definitely look forward to that, you heard it here first.”

J’ray’s is grabbing attention with the release of visuals to his biggest tune yet, ‘Dance’. The song is now available for streaming on YouTube making it accessible to fans across the world. It also goes live on major satellite and terrestrial music channels putting it in front of a wide array of audience across local and continental territories.

Born Morojuoluwa Oke in the cosmopolitan city Lagos, J’ray’s world view was shaped as a kid on the streets of the African city with the largest black people. The second in a family of four children, J’ray attended Badestay Nursery and Primary School, Lagos before transferring to Bizben International School, Lagos. His secondary school education was at Trinity International College, Mowe Ofada, Ogun State. He proceeded to the United States where he studied Computer Science at Texas Tech University.

The journey to stardom began in 2018 for J’ray after he dropped a single “Spotlight” produced by one of Africa’s biggest producers, Kiddominant. He caught the attention of Atlanta-Based Record Label, Governor’s Media Group leading to his first record deal. Still under the imprimatur of the record label, he went on to drop other singles such as “Peperenpe” and “You.”

In the summer of 2019, J’ray collaborated with rapper SP Juice and producer Marphy Jay to put out a body of work “High Notes the EP” with an eponymous hit song. Other songs such as “Tonight”, “Bottles On Me”, “Roll For Me”, and “Down Below.” In 2020, J’ray and Governors Media Group amicably parted ways, with J’ray dropping his first single as a solo, “Rock Bottom” in the early weeks of June, 2020. J’ray’s most recent release is a 5-track EP titled “UnJ’rayted” which dropped towards the end of 2021.
