Music

LAUREN JAY is a Washington, DC-based DJ hailing from the eastside of Detroit, MI. Leading with the groove of Motown and the grit of the Murder Mitten, her sets are inspired by anything from funky bass lines and soulful tunes to lo-fi loops and brash lyrics. She loves experimenting across decades and genres to capture and create a moment for the listener.

Realizing her passion for music early on, LAUREN began learning the violin and taught herself piano. She’s no slouch on the mic either. Writing her own songs and poems, she’s always found a way to share what’s on her heart with others.

As a storyteller by day, LAUREN began merging her love for music with her interest in journalism while managing her college radio station where she hosted a weekly music show and worked as an audio engineer. Now, as she makes her way in D.C., LAUREN is channeling heart and humility into constantly evolving her sound – and every music lover is invited on the journey.
