Jay Ardz Unravels Past Traumas In New Album ‘G.A.D’

The music of Jay Ardz is a direct product of his environment. The victim of human trafficking, an uprooted life that saw him moved internationally, and being thrust into the care system after being taken from his mother as a child, he is an artist that has suffered some of life’s cruelest twists. Finding his solace in music, the one true constant in his life, he has culminated his experiences in 6-track album ‘GAD’ (Grind All Day).

Standing out with his striking delivery, his culturally affluent heritage is notable. Hard to pinpoint the accent that marries his Nigerian, Italian, Canadian and British influences, his warming tones have a depth of emotion that hits a sweet spot. Across the 6 tracks of the album, Jay Ardz works in melodic, singing tones that are pieced together with powerful, soulful hooks and snappy rhymes. His topics vary as he travels through introspective pieces such as ‘Target’, heartfelt and honest moments found on ‘Burning’ and party tracks such as the finale ‘Sh!t’.

Introducing the album with the video for release of ‘Target’, Jay Ardz delves in to the most vulnerable parts of his soul as he documents his childhood, which saw him trafficked between the U.S.A and Canada before being separated from his mother after her arrest. The record unfolds the trauma that the experience caused; one he continues to live with today.
