A 20-year-old dancehall artiste is using social media to his advantage to promote his music. Quacey Welcome, popularly known as Jay Supreme hopes to become an international dancehall artiste. In an interview with The Scene, Jay said he started writing music when he finished High School in 2016 but only became serious about it in 2019.
He related that he decided to take the step after doing a song called “Future” in 2018 and being surprised at the response. “After I did the song I saw the feedback that I got from it and I was like surprised… so I was like this is a real talent, I just got to keep working on my craft and don’t give up on it, but I still wasn’t serious,” he said. He added that putting his all into his music and becoming 100 percent serious only came after he released his most popular music video to date for the song “Double O7” which has garnered over 18,000 views on his YouTube channel.
The official audio for the song was released in late 2019 but according to Jay, it only got buzz after the video was released earlier this year. “I shot the video in February and I held it. Then coronavirus came around, so I was like I’m just going to release it when everybody’s at home and don’t have anything to do,” he added. Jay told The Scene that when the video was released for the song, the response was overwhelming. He excitedly expressed that he also gained just about 2,000 subscribers within two days.
