Growing up listening to tracks like “The Bridge is Over” and artists such as Eric B., Rakim, Kurtis Blow, DMX, and Run DMC, his musical career clearly started as a child in New York. Not only through listening but learning to play instruments like the piano. It was not long before Jay Griffy was getting notoriety online and started catching the attention of artists on the West Coast like St. Laz.

 Basheer | Talks New Music, Muslim Roots, & More! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:29:14

My journey started in Oakland, California where I was born… Saint Louis where I was raised… in Saint Louis, I discovered my talent for music/singing writing, anything creative I was into or still is, I was always the best drawer in the class, the best writer. I remember writing a poem in 9th grade, my teacher told me I should be taking College AP courses after she read my poem, so yeah, I feel like a genius, it has always been a part of my makeup/DNA but honestly, I was a class clown so they never worked out… the reason why I was a class clown because the school work was remedial, for me, it was too easy, so I never took it seriously but you could catch me dreaming off to music at all times of the day. I’d say it wasn’t till after high school was when I really took music seriously, I ended linking up with a friend of mine who goes by the name SHVL, he helped me a lot with learning how to engineer and just overall recording.We were hella cool best friends type shit but we fell off… still best regards always though… I will always give credit where it’s due… but upon realizing my potential prowess for music, I discovered even more how much I love myself and those around me. In my music, I’ve made it a point to always try to teach what can someone take away from what they just heard. Does it invoke any spirits? Does it make you feel better? Wiser/cooler after you listen to one of my songs? I strive for creating from my heart, and soul what feels natural.

Both of my parents are from Kingston, so I spent a lot of time there as a youth growing up. Lagos reminded me a lot of Kingston, just bigger. A lot of the issues that we face in Jamaica are the same issues that plague other third world countries, from poverty, to education, crime, energy, all that. When my manager brought me the opportunity to be a part of the #MakeTheFuture initiative with Shell, and I got to see what they were trying to do with reusable sustainable energy in the third world, it was a no brainer.
