About Jay Strauss
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memory is being a little kid jumping up and down on my bed to “Twist and Shout.” I had no idea what the song meant, just responding to the pure energy and movement—a 6-year old's sense that something different was in the air.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Grateful Dead, American Beauty Remastered Pavement, Brighten the Corners Silver Jews, American Water Brighten the Corners & American Water are records I keep coming back to - every song feels essential, and the writing keeps revealing itself over time. American Beauty goes further back - Hunter’s lyrics had a huge impact and still echo in what I do.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Broken Compass” “Broken Compass” captures where I’ve been heading lately, trying to make sense of a world that's upside down. It’s direct, a little raw, and leans into tension rather than resolving it. It felt important to follow that instinct all the way through.
