John "Jaye" Ward Jr.
Born in the coastal city of Wilmington, North Carolina, I've spent the last fifteen years immersed in the world of music. My artistic spirit is drawn to the enigmatic beauty found within life's darker corners, exploring these themes through sound and lyric. Beyond the realm of music, a deep-seated desire fuels me: to extend love and support to those around me in any way I can. This duality – an embrace of shadow and a commitment to light – shapes both my creative expression and my approach to the world. Ultimately, I strive to connect with others on a profound level, offering both solace and understanding.
