Jay Todd is a Christian recording artist whose musical journey is rooted in faith, family, and a deep love for gospel music. Raised in New Jersey, Jay's parents, both biological and spiritual, played a significant role in shaping his spiritual and musical foundation, with gospel legends like Fred Hammond, The Winans, Commissioned, and John P. Kee further fueling his passion for music and ministry. Jay's musical gifts began to shine through at the age of seven when he joined his local church choir. As he grew older, he continued to develop his talent, becoming a worship leader and leading congregations in heartfelt worship experiences. Jay's anointed voice caught the attention of influential gospel artists, and he was invited to share the stage with the likes of Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, and Dorinda Clark Cole.
In 2014, Jay released his first CD project titled 'Closer', showcasing his powerful vocal range and anointed songwriting ability. It's a unique blend of contemporary and traditional gospel, with a focus on uplifting messages of hope and encouragement. Jay's goal is to minister effectively to those who have been scarred mentally, physically, and emotionally, encouraging them that God is greatest power, above him, there is no other. When he's not in the studio or on the road, Jay serves as a worship leader and young adult ministry leader at the Family Church. He recently tied the knot with his wife Jakiyah, and together they are a dynamic team with a heart for ministry.
Jay's music has touched the hearts of many, with his first single "Dwell" receiving over 1 million streams. His new single "Stands Forever" has received critical acclaim and was chosen by gospel recording artist and radio host Erica Campbell as a "new release to add to your playlist." With a powerful voice and a heart for people, Jay Todd is poised to continue making a positive impact on the lives of those around him.
