Like much of the world over the last few years, I was struggling mentally and physically when it came time to head into the studio, and so was my producer Ovi. My head was pounding on the day we started, and I looked at Ovi and said, “Let’s make a song that sounds the complete opposite of how we feel.” And out came the jazzy, upbeat “Slow Down.” From that moment on, we were off to the races…</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Believe it or not, </span><span style="color:hsl(270,100%,47%);"><strong>I had decided to walk away from music</strong></span><span style="color:hsl(324,100%,50%);"> </span><span style="color:#000000;">at the point of recording the album, and this was to be my final artistic output. And I did walk away, taking a job in another industry and staying out of the studio for the better part of a year. </span><span style="color:#222222;">But with some time and space and thought and therapy, I came out with a new perspective and realized I wasn't finished. In fact, I feel like I'm just getting started in some ways. When I listen to these songs now, I can see the struggle I was going through, and I'm so happy it was documented on this album, so I can show myself I've come out the other side with a renewed energy and sense of purpose about where I'm supposed to be.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://symphony.to/nat-jay/turns-out-its-not-the-end" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(324,100%,50%);"><strong><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/112942/56cc233d787c76c1e587fdc6a6a5954c3a993552/original/tointe-album-art-3000.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></strong></span></a><span style="color:hsl(270,100%,47%);"><strong>This feeling that I was done was freeing in the end, and actually gave us direction in the studio.</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;"> We were going to do whatever we wanted with this album – get inspired by any genre and do things we’d always wanted to do. Ovi and I created an album that showcases our diverse musical backgrounds and interests, with influences from pop, jazz, r&b, hip hop, classical, disco, and more. I lived out a lifelong dream of collaborating with a rapper (Louisiana hip hop artist TY Avery), nailed a flute solo, and sampled my then-five-year-old niece.</span><br><br><span style="color:hsl(270,100%,47%);"><strong>When I came back to the studio this year, I had a restored love for the songs</strong> </span><span style="color:#000000;">on <i><strong>Turns Out It’s Not The End</strong></i><strong> </strong>– all except for one song that wasn’t connecting, which we decided to throw out. One song short of a record, I decided the album title would make a great tribute song to the journey I’d been on since creating the other songs. Written and recorded only weeks before the album’s release, it documents my relationship with music, shows the perspective I’ve gained a year on, the path I’ve chosen, and my commitment and willingness to be open to the possibilities it offers once again.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">I’m so proud to share this project with you all and hope it takes you on an adventure, helping you make sense of your own path – and I hope you like it!

I would also love your feedback – let me know your favourite songs and how they are meaningful in your life. </span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">And of course thank you all for your support over so many years – it really is so important to me and helps me find meaning in my music career.</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">With love + music,</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000;">Nat 💜💖🌙</span></p><p dir="ltr"><a class="no-pjax" href="https://symphony.to/nat-jay/turns-out-its-not-the-end" target="_blank" data-link-type="url" contents="Click here to listen."><span style="color:hsl(270,100%,47%);"><i><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO LISTEN</u></strong></i></span></a><a data-link-type="url" contents="Click here to listen."><span style="color:hsl(270,100%,47%);"><i><strong><u> TO THE ALBUM</u></strong></i></span></a></p>Nat Jaytag:natjay.com,2005:Post/72870922023-10-12T23:05:20-07:002023-10-16T07:46:17-07:00NEW SINGLE "FEEL SAD" NOW AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE<p>Nat Jay is thrilled to announce the release of “Feel Sad,” the second single off her upcoming EP, due out in November. </p><p><strong>LISTEN NOW: </strong><a class="no-pjax" href="https://symphony.to/nat-jay/feel-sad"><strong>https://symphony.to/nat-jay/feel-sad</strong></a></p><p>“Feel Sad” is a upbeat track that carries a heavy message with it.

<p>A MESSAGE FROM NAT JAY:</p>
<p>“In my solitude away from family and friends, I guess I became quite sentimental. I started thinking a lot about getting older and wanting to relive certain moments, wondering whether I was getting the most out of my life. My producer Ovi sent me this track and 'Young at Heart' came out,” recalls Nat. “And even though the song is reflective, I still wanted it to have a hopeful vibe, and I like the idea of, no matter where you’re at, remembering that spirit and energy of being young, and infusing your life with that feeling.”</p>

<p><em>"I knew this song was special when we wrote it, but I never dreamed it would connect with so many people around the world. I wrote this song with AND for my producer Ovi, but it’s become more and more true for ME lately. The last few months have been strange ones and a lot of people have told me this song rings true for them, and so I remind you to:⠀ <br>⠀ <br>1. Breathe. Deep breaths. ⠀ <br>2. Move every day. Even just a little. <br>3. Focus on the things you can control. ⠀ <br>⠀ <br>I hope this helps you sleep a little better at night. Your support means the world to me and definitely helps me sleep better at night. From the bottom of my sleepy heart, thank you for listening! 😴 💤"</em></p>

A message from Nat:</p>
<p>"One day my producer, Ovi described to me this insomniac world he lives in where it's just him against the night, and I tried to create that nighttime world through this song. It was amazing to see this angst come alive through Billy Mustapha's incredible dancing and the artistry of Mike Southworth (Director/Editor) and Byron Kopman's (DOP) imagination. Thank you to all those who helped make this video happen!" </p>

<p><span class="font_regular">Read on to hear a message from Nat about the creation of the album...</span></p>
<p><em>Creating The Flash of a Fight was a learning experience for me. It was a lesson in the practical (songwriting), but also in trust; trust in the people around me and trust in my ability. These are a few things I discovered about myself during this process: </em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#cc0099;"><strong>I thrive with the right team.</strong></span> I’m that person who likes to do it all on my own. I like things a certain way and I know I can rely on myself. But that’s also a lot of pressure and can make for a lonely work life. On The Flash of a Fight I decided to let down that wall and invite some team members into the mix. Co-writers Mary Ancheta, Luca Fogale, and of course my producer Ovi all brought a new flavour to my songs. At the same time they allowed me to be myself and gave me the freedom to write how I write. Finding the right collaborators made all the difference, not changing what I do, but nurturing and enhancing my vision to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. </em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#cc0099;"><strong><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://bnd.lc/tfoaf" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/112942/bf61b513f5c96beff46ff4c4564f838350bbf920/original/nat-cover-the-flash-of-a-fight-v6.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></a>I can adapt.</strong> </span>I’m a creature of comfort. I like what I know, and once I’ve found it, it’s a tug-of-war to wrestle it away from me. I’ve written 95% of my songs with a guitar in hand and a full band recording in mind. The Flash of a Fight brought me a new challenge as a songwriter: write a modern pop song. Put down the guitar and write to a track. I had to shift my focus from the vast expanse of an acoustic folk song to the succinct, rhythmic bubble of the current pop trends. Often using the same musical sample throughout the whole song, I had to find new ways to create movement and separation between the different sections, using more dramatic changes in melody and rhythm. Outside my comfort zone, I was able to take the familiar, push it to grow, and trust it to take on new life. </em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#cc0099;"><strong>I found my strength. </strong></span>When we are so focused on doing what we’ve always done, we can get stuck in the limits of our ability. Bringing on collaborators to take off some of the weight and challenging myself with a new way of songwriting highlighted a skill set I hadn’t been aware of previously: I’m a topline writer. In the pop/EDM/urban music world, this is a legitimate role, meaning a songwriter who writes only the melody and lyrics. It is the most important role in a conventional pop song, since without a topline, it isn’t a song. While I can write the other parts, having another writer working on the chords and the track allowed my ability as a topline writer to shine, as I zoned in on creating thoughtful lyrics, innovative melodies, and unique hooks for my listeners to take in more than ever before. Narrowing down this skill set so specifically not only refreshed my love for what I do, but also gave new direction to my career. </em></p>
<p><em>I hope you enjoy listening to The Flash of a Fight as much as I enjoyed making it. If you do, please share it with everyone you know, as this is what helps us indie artists the most! I would also love your feedback—let me know your favourite songs and how they are meaningful in your life. As I have learned through this process, music at its best is a collaborative experience, and I’m honoured and thrilled to be sharing this experience with you. </em></p>

<p><em>Nat Jay </em></p>Nat Jaytag:natjay.com,2005:Post/59633202019-11-16T23:45:25-08:002021-04-24T12:50:54-07:00FROM TRAUMA TO MUSIC: NEW ALBUM, THE FLASH OF A FIGHT, OUT NOV 22<p>Nat Jay is excited to announce the release of her new full-length album, The Flash of a Fight, out worldwide on November 22. Read on for the story behind the album...</p>
<p><em>This album almost didn’t happen. After a serious car accident and two abdominal surgeries, one of which led to life-threatening complications, I didn’t know whether I had the energy or the passion for creating music anymore, let alone whether I could sing properly. I envisaged the car accident daily. I could feel my scars every time I tightened my abdomen to sing. I thought if I opened my mouth to sing, I would just cry.</em></p>
<p><em>I put off the album and didn’t write for almost a year and a half. During that time, I was lucky enough to receive grant funding for the recording of the album from both Creative BC and the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings (FACTOR). I honestly thought about giving all the grant money back and walking away.</em></p>
<p><em><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://show.co/qXFeneb" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/112942/bf61b513f5c96beff46ff4c4564f838350bbf920/original/nat-cover-the-flash-of-a-fight-v6.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>But then, I didn’t. And what resulted are the songs on The Flash of a Fight.</em></p>
<p><em>I started writing on my own at first, and then decided I wanted to take a more collaborative approach to my writing, and engaged some friends. A couple of the songs stuck: “Déjà Vu,” written with Cookie Cartel’s Mary Ancheta, and “Quiet,” written with artist Luca Fogale. The rest came to life in the studio after finding the right partner in my producer (and neighbour), Ovidiu “Ovi” Bistriceanu.</em></p>
<p><em>Ovi and I took a huge risk, as I threw away most of what I’d been working on, and we arrived at the studio each day starting a song from scratch. After hours of talking, we would sit for several more hours in silence, Ovi building a track and me writing the topline (melody + lyrics). We had a mic next to the console, and every once in a while, I would pipe up: “I’ve got a verse!” – at which point I would stand up and record the part I’d written for safe keeping. We found it difficult to recapture the excitement and magic of some newly written lines when we tried to replace the vocal later on, so we ended up using most of those “first take” vocals on the record.</em></p>
<p><em>The Flash of a Fight brought out many new sides to my artistry. After everything I’d been through, I had changed, and so had my writing instincts. They were telling me to try something different, to find a collaborator that could bring out a side of me I’d been hiding: I like pop music! Though raised in a classical household, I spent my teenage years listening and dancing to pop and R&B, and I wanted to find my way back. I was so fortunate to find Ovi, one of the country’s most talented pop producers, who encouraged me and made me smile every day in the studio.</em></p>
<p><em>I hope my fans will like this shift in my musical aesthetic. I hope you’ll still hear the old me: just a girl trying to make sense of life through her songs. But I also hope you’ll bop your head or tap your toes to the new electro in my pop. </em></p>

Read on for the story behind the song.</p>
<p><em><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/112942/3a88730b8cd86fc2356b88e5aaf99a260cec39f9/original/nat-cover-09-10-19-v1.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_left border_" />Finding Synergy in Collaboration</em></p>
<p><em>‘Bullseye’ was the audition song for my producer Ovi and me. I wanted to take a more collaborative approach on this album, but I hadn’t decided who I was working with yet, so I had been writing with a lot of different artists and producers to see what would work best. Ovi and I had done a distance write a couple of years before, and it had gone well, so I asked him if he wanted to try doing a writing session. I went into his studio and after we talked for a while he started working on a track. We basically sat in silence for about two hours while he built the track and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, so I just started writing something random to go with the track. After those two hours, Ovi turned to me and asked me if I had anything, and I meekly said, “Maybe, but I’m not sure, but maybe.” I sang it to him in the most pathetic, unconfident way, and he said, “I love it. Let’s record it.” And that was the first verse of ‘Bullseye.’ We even kept those vocals. </em></p>
<p><em>That day Ovi and I had been talking a lot about our health (since we both suffer from different illnesses) and about trying a whole bunch of things to help. We were saying how good it would feel to find that one thing that makes all the difference. I think that’s what infiltrated into the lyrics as I started to write. The strange thing was, that’s also what was happening for us as collaborators. After searching for the right sound and the right producer for this project, everything about this collaboration suddenly felt right. Thinking he would totally turn me down, I sent Ovi an email asking if he wanted to produce the rest of the album, and within half an hour, he sent back an unequivocal “Yes!!” Traditionally, Ovi works on his own on a track, without an artist present, but he had been feeling the same way about the ‘Bullseye’ demo, and was surprised and excited about how comfortable he felt working with me there. We had serendipitously written the song about our collaboration while it was happening! </em></p>
<p><em>I hope people can relate to this feeling, whether it’s in a relationship, a job, a new home, etc. That instinctual feeling when our gut tells us, “This is the right thing.” I hope people find inspiration in ‘Bullseye’ to keep trying and believing that it’s out there waiting for them to find. I hope this song keeps reminding me of that too.</em></p>

'Sleep' is now available on <a contents="all digital platforms" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://bnd.lc/sleep" target="_blank">all digital platforms</a>.

<p><em>I wrote “Sleep” with my producer Ovi on a day we were particularly tired. We both have difficulty with our health and this affects our sleep very much. "How did you sleep?" became one of the first questions we would ask each other upon arriving at the studio. </em></p>
<p><em>For Ovi, his health condition has turned him into an insomniac. One day Ovi described to me how he feels like he lives in two different worlds: one in the daytime, where he has his normal family life and works on music at his studio, and one where it's just him against the night, where he is so tired and tries everything to fall asleep, but sleep doesn't come. </em></p>
<p><em>On the day we wrote "Sleep," we both came into the studio exhausted, and I thought, "What could we possible produce today that is in any way good." But then Ovi started playing with those bell sounds that you can hear at the beginning, and to me they felt like "sleepy sounds," so I told Ovi I was going to write a song about sleep for him, and decided to try and create that nighttime world he had described to me. </em></p>
<p><em>After writing the song, it has morphed into a bigger picture for me on how difficult it is to live with a physical illness, a mental illness, or a disability, to find an escape from it, and to try and reconcile this part of ourselves with the ambitions of our everyday lives. </em></p>
<p><em>I chose this song as the first single as it always felt like the coolest track on the album. Its pentatonic-like melody gives it an eerie quality that is supported by descriptive lyrics and ghostly production, and it feels like all those elements combined to create the exact sound I wanted to introduce this album and my new, more electronic sound. </em></p>
<p><em>Sleep helps our bodies and minds recover and reset, but so can listening to music, so I hope this song brings you some positive energy, as writing it did for me. </em></p>

<p>NAT JAY SIGNS WITH SYNCSTORIES </p>
<p>(Vancouver/Los Angeles) ~ Singer, songwriter, and recording artist Nat Jay is excited to announce that she has signed a deal to work with Los Angeles company, SyncStories. Over the last few years, the songstress has accumulated over 30 sync placements in Film + TV, with her songs appearing on major networks around the world. Not only is this an impressive feat for a self-managed, self-published indie artist, but it has also earned her an international fan base. </p>
<p>SyncStories is a one-stop music licensing and publishing company and will be representing Nat Jay's sync catalogue throughout the world, excluding Canada. With new music expected out later this year, the timing is perfect for this union. "I was determined to expand my team with the release of my upcoming album," says Jay. "Getting sync placements has been my main M.O. as an artist, so I knew it would be a good place to start. I'm confident that SyncStories is the right partner to take my music into new territories and uncover opportunities to showcase my music and my abilities. I'm looking forward to working under the guidance of Cassie and Eric's extensive knowledge and love that they're right in the thick of things down in L.A." </p>
<p>SyncStories is a dynamic partnership between CEO, Eric Vasquez and President, Cassie Lord. The organization merges first-rate indie artists, world class production music libraries, and custom music services, providing one-stop music licensing and creative solutions for the TV, Film, and Interactive Media industries. Still in its beginning stages, SyncStories was founded as an “artist and composer first” music company, and has already seen great success using this approach, with placements in productions like Glow, Ibiza, Avengers: End Game, Narcos, Master Chef, Paddington 2, Nashville, and many more. </p>
<p>CEO, Eric Vasquez’s music career spans well over 20 years as a musician, composer, A&R, producer, entrepreneur, and recording engineer, in addition to an 8-year touring career as drummer for early 80’s iconic punk rock band, “Dr.Know.” As a composer and music producer, Vasquez has produced hundreds of original songs and compositions that can be heard on numerous television shows, films, and advertisements. As former President and Founder of 5 Alarm Music (acquired by Ole in 2016), SyncStories President Cassie Lord directed production and operations resulting in music heard on many TV and Film projects, including Game of Thrones, X-Men, Godzilla, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, Narcos, Modern Family, True Blood; and commercials such as Dodge, Old Navy, and Pepsi, to name a few. She also spearheaded the formation of the Film and Television Divisions for APM Music and FirstCom over a 16-year span. </p>
<p>Nat Jay will have further announcements regarding her new music in the near future. In the meantime, she continues to administer her music licensing initiatives in Canada, while focused on planning her upcoming release and growing her team. </p>

The artwork is an original piece by Vancouver mixed media artist, <a contents="Jon Shaw" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.jonshawpaintings.com/" target="_blank">Jon Shaw</a>, and contains both traditional and digital techniques. Jon Shaw had this to say about the creation of the work:
<p>“The work is a combination of illustrative and drawing techniques on paper, layered together digitally. The concept of narrative within a snow globe seems both intriguing and captivating to me, transporting familiar campfire and snow circumstances into an unfamiliar/unrealistic space.”<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/112942/16c9d72d8dca4f54be22fbdfed7e6c518d4378d2/original/artwork-v3-textlores.jpg?1479239525" class="size_l justify_left border_" /></p>Nat Jaytag:natjay.com,2005:Post/44681942016-11-15T12:57:03-08:002016-11-15T12:57:03-08:00NAT JAY ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF "STOKE THE FIRE" EPNat Jay announced today that her Christmas album <strong><em>Stoke the Fire</em></strong>, a collaboration with electronic production duo Cookie Cartel, will be released on December 2, 2016 on iTunes and Spotify.

</div> <br><u>(Vancouver, BC)</u> ~ Singer, songwriter, and recording artist Nat Jay is thrilled to announce the release of her acoustic EP, <em>Quiet Dreams</em>, on iTunes Tuesday, September 8. This release marks one year since the release of her highly acclaimed debut full-length, <em>All I Think When I Wake Up</em>, which is up for Pop Album of the Year at the 2015 Western Canadian Music Awards the following week.<br> <br>To celebrate this latest contribution to her growing catalogue, Nat Jay will host an album release party on Saturday, September 12 at the Rickshaw Theatre in historic Chinatown at 8:00pm. Advance tickets are now available online at <a href="http://www.vancouvertix.com">www.rickshawtheatre.com</a> or at the venue the night of the performance. Ticket prices are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.<br> <br>Nat Jay will perform two sets at this unique show – one acoustic set with guitar and strings, and one full band set. The opener for the evening will be local buzz artist <a href="http://www.jaspersloanyip.com">Jasper Sloan Yip</a>, who is fresh off appearances at the Vancouver Folk Festival, Arts Wells, and the Tiny Lights Festival.<br> <br>Recorded in Vancouver at FaderMountain Sound with long-time collaborator and producer Winston Hauschild, <em>Quiet Dreams </em>showcases several heavyweights, including Gretsch Guitar artist, Paul Pigat (Jakob Dylan, Neko Case), and a duet with Hey Ocean! lead singer, Ashleigh Ball (“Something This Way Comes”). Also highlighted are string players Caitlin Grieve (Cairo) and Doug Gorkoff (Black Dog Quartet). <em>Quiet Dreams </em>has already received international recognition with placements on Channel 7’s popular TV show <em>Winners & Losers</em> in Australia. Intended as a tribute to Nat Jay’s nominated full-length, the EP contains two acoustic—and very different—versions of tracks from <em>All I Think When I Wake Up</em>, as well as the artist’s first ever cover release, a touching guitar and vocal rendition of Pat Benatar’s “We Belong.”<br> <br>“There’s an intimacy in an acoustic performance that can be extremely moving for the audience, and as a listener, this has always been my favourite kind of music to experience,” say Jay. “It was exciting to see these songs come to life in such a quiet and simple setting. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I was lucky to be joined by some amazing guests on the album, who helped bring out the character of each song.”<br> <br>Since the release of her debut EP <em>Lights Across the Sky </em>in 2008, Nat Jay has shared the stage with Canada’s own two-time JUNO Award winner Dan Mangan, Matthew Barber, Oh Susanna, and Justin Rutledge, as well as New York City’s Jay Brannan and Australia’s folk-blues group, Angus & Julia Stone.<br> <br>Nat Jay’s compelling and highly accomplished vocal delivery has been compared with such powerful performers as Joni Mitchell, Patsy Cline, and the Dixie Chicks. Her emotive songwriting ability has earned her a BCCMA nomination for SOCAN Songwriter of the Year, an appearance as a featured songwriter at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, and a guest spot on CBC Radio 2’s “Canada Live.” Most recently, Jay earned a co-writing credit with the legendary Stephen Bishop for the song “Loveless” from his 2014 album <em>Be Here Then</em>, and <em>All I Think When I Wake Up</em> was named in <a href="http://popdose.com/2014-top-40-rock-and-pop-albums/"><em>PopDose</em></a>’s Top 10 Pop Albums of 2014, touting her as “the pop revelation of the year.” Nat Jaytag:natjay.com,2005:Post/38188532015-08-01T17:40:00-07:002017-01-15T16:06:56-08:00NAT JAY AT HARMONY ARTS FEST!Catch Nat Jay's acoustic set at the beautiful Harmony Arts Festival this weekend in West Vancouver.<br>Nat's set will be at 2pm on Sunday, August 2.<br>A stage set overlooking the ocean and artisans galore!

<strong>VANCOUVER’S NAT JAY SHARES MUSIC INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE IN PEER-TO-PEER SEMINAR</strong><br><br><strong>“AN INDIE ARTIST’S GUIDE TO MUSIC LICENSING IN FILM & TV”</strong>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>MAY 10 AT VSO SCHOOL OF MUSIC</strong><br><strong>1pm-4pm</strong>
</div>
<div>
<br><strong><u>(Vancouver, BC)</u></strong> ~ Singer, songwriter and recording artist Nat Jay is excited to announce her seminar, "An Indie Artist's Guide to Music Licensing in Film & TV" on Sunday, May 10 at the VSO School of Music (843 Seymour Street) from 1pm to 4pm.<br><br>Since releasing her first demo in 2007, Nat Jay's folk-pop songs have garnered close to thirty placements in film and TV such as <em>The Hills</em>, <em>The City</em>, <em>Awkward</em>, <em>Heartland</em>, <em>Degrassi</em>, <em>Continuum</em>, <em>Bitten</em>, and most recently Australia’s <em>Winners & Losers</em>. An accomplishment for any independent artist, this feat has not only built her a reputation in the local music industry, but has also gained her fans from countries around the world.<br><br>Nat Jay's entrance into sync licensing came through a fateful turn of events when the first song she ever record - an unmixed, unmastered demo of her song "Love When I Can" - was placed in an emotional end-of-episode montage of the ABC series <em>Men In Trees</em> in 2008. Since then, she has done everything she can to develop her knowledge and network in this sector of the industry, and is looking forward to sharing this knowledge with her peers.<br><br>"The question I get asked the most by both new and established artists is always, 'How do you get your music placed in film and TV?'", says Jay. "The tough thing is, it's not a short answer. It's something that has taken me years to learn and is continuously evolving. I wanted to find a way to address this question for as many artists as I could, so I broke it down into a step-by-step approach and came up with the idea for the seminar."<br><br>With a background in public speaking and many years of experience in the performing arts, this has been a natural fit for Jay. She has already presented several successful lectures for Music Publishing classes at Pacific Audio Visual Institute and has now opened up registration for her first public seminar.<br><br>"Educational panels and seminars in the music industry are traditionally run by industry professionals. Hearing the info come from a peer, who is out there working hard and trying to have a successful career just like they are, carries a special kind of value for artists. It's coming from someone they can relate to and gives them something attainable to strive for. It feels more like we're all in this together."<br><br>The registration fee for An Indie Artist’s Guide to Music Licensing in Film & TV with Nat Jay is $99.

It’s so rare in all the CDs that cross my desk at Popdose that someone has all three, and she really is hitting on all cylinders.”</em></p><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://soundcloud.com/natjay/nat-jay-overnight-america" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/112942/9bd72f8cba7fbc8211d1e7c356c7ff6f8b58d998/medium/img-2107.jpg?1421726862" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></a>Nat Jaytag:natjay.com,2005:Post/34546372015-01-06T15:10:01-08:002015-01-06T15:19:38-08:00NAT JAY'S PRODUCER TALKS ABOUT SONG SELECTION FOR THE ALBUMWondering how we chose the songs for <em>All I Think When I Wake Up</em>?

This bombshell Canadian is just starting to make waves south of the border. All I Think When I Wake Up kicks off with a winning dance number, ‘Can’t Getcha Out’, but really hits its groove with a string of breathtaking country flavored pop songs that recall peak-level Alanis Morissette and the Cranberries. This album hits the singer/songwriter trifecta: she’s got the look, she’s got the pipes and the songs are world-class. Here’s hoping these songs find their way across the many ponds.” – </em><a href="http://popdose.com/2014-top-40-rock-and-pop-albums/">POPDOSE<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/112942/4e56c90643677b1a716a03a47d048e98cb281d7a/medium/logofouroh10.png?1420009616" class="size_m justify_left border_" /></a>Nat Jaytag:natjay.com,2005:Post/33242012014-11-24T15:27:37-08:002017-01-15T16:06:55-08:00SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: All Is Bright - Songwriter NightNat Jay will join some of Vancouver's most exciting emerging songwriters, including David Beckingham (Hey Ocean!), Adrian Glynn, and Sarah Wheeler for a night of songs, stories, and fundraising for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.

<div> <br><u>(Vancouver, BC)</u> ~ Singer, songwriter, and recording artist Nat Jay is thrilled to announce the release of her much anticipated full-length album, <em>All I Think When I Wake Up</em>, on iTunes Tuesday, September 23.<br> <br>To celebrate her latest contribution to the musical landscape, Jay will host an album release party on Friday, September 26 at the Revue Stage on Granville Island at 8:00pm. Advance tickets are available online Tuesday, September 2 at 10:00am through <a contents="http://tiny.cc/natjaycdrelease" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://tiny.cc/natjaycdrelease" target="_blank">http://tiny.cc/natjaycdrelease</a> or at the venue the night of the performance. Ticket prices are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.<br> <br>Recorded in Vancouver at Fader Mountain Sound with Craig Northey, Doug Elliott, and Pat Steward of The Odds as the studio band and produced by Winston Hauschild (Hannah Georgas, Wanting, Hey Ocean), <em>All I Think When I Wake Up</em> has already received national and international recognition through placements on CBC TV’s “Heartland” and “Arctic Air” as well as “Continuum” on Showcase/Syfy. The album’s first single, “Can’t Getcha Out”, will be featured internationally on the popular Australian television drama series “Winners & Losers”. In addition, Nat Jay was awarded $10,000 for “Can’t Getcha Out”, which was named “Best of BC” by Shore 104.3FM.<br> <br>Since the release of her debut EP <em>Lights Across the Sky </em>in 2008, Jay has shared the stage with Canada’s own two-time JUNO Award winner Dan Mangan, Matthew Barber, Oh Susanna, and Justin Rutledge, as well as New York City’s Jay Brannan and Australia’s folk-blues group, Angus & Julia Stone.<br> <br>Nat Jay’s compelling and highly accomplished vocal delivery has been compared with such powerful performers as Joni Mitchell, Patsy Cline, and the Dixie Chicks. Her emotive songwriting ability has earned her a BCCMA nomination for SOCAN Songwriter of the Year, an appearance as a featured songwriter at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, a guest spot on CBC Radio 2’s “Canada Live”, and most recently, a co-writing credit with the legendary Stephen Bishop for the song “Loveless” from his album <em>Be Here Then</em>.<br> <br>“As an independent artist, there is so much to do on both the business and creative sides of making an album,” says Jay. “It can take more time than we’d like it to, but it’s also done with great care. I’m grateful to have had the support of so many people who have helped me bring the pieces of this project together slowly, but surely, and I’m so proud and excited to finally share my work with the world.”<br> <br>Further information on Nat Jay can be found on the following platforms:<br> <br><strong>Web:</strong> <a href="http://www.NatJay.com/">http://www.NatJay.com/</a><br> <br><strong>Facebook:</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialNatJay">https://www.facebook.com/OfficialNatJay</a><br> <br><strong>Twitter:</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/OfficialNatJay">https://twitter.com/OfficialNatJay</a><br> <br><strong>YouTube:</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/OfficialNatJay">https://www.youtube.com/OfficialNatJay</a> <br> <br><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="http://instagram.com/OfficialNatJay">http://instagram.com/OfficialNatJay</a><br> <br> <br><strong><u>Media Contact</u></strong><strong>:</strong><br>Teresa Trovato | 604.897.1939 | <a href="mailto:teresatrovatopr@gmail.com">teresatrovatopr@gmail.com</a>
