She began singing at age 2, finding her connection to music early. By age 9, she was performing at Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater, a world-famous stage.
Jayy also has strong ties to Alabama’s higher education and music communities. She attended Miles College, a historically Black college in Fairfield, Alabama, where she sang in the Miles College Choir, according to a celebratory Facebook post from the College.
Standout Performances on “The Voice”
Throughout the season, Jayy captivated audiences with memorable performances, each of which built her momentum.
Her three-chair turner performance of “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” during Blind Auditions set the stage for a consistent fan-driven push through the competition.
She victoriously sang her way through battles with performances of “Nightshift” and “You Give Good Love.”
In the semifinals, her rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)” secured her a place in the finale. She followed that with performances of “Lady Marmalade” and Adele’s “One and Only,” which helped solidify her win.
Jayy ultimately finished first in the competition, ahead of Team Kelly’s Liv Ciara, who placed second. Team Legend’s Lucas West finished third, followed by Mikenley Brown in fourth place.
