One of the most enigmatic and intriguing artists to ever grace the music industry, Jai Paul (born June 1988) is an English singer, songwriter, producer, and recording artist from Rayners Lane, United Kingdom. He is currently signed to XL Recordings.

Jai made a splash when his demo recording “BTSTU” caught the attention of the likes of Zane Lowe, Drake & Beyoncé, the latter two sampling it for tracks of their own.

The second release from Jai came in the form of “Jasmine”, and remains the last official track released by him.

In April 2013, a full length album was leaked onto Bandcamp under Jai’s name. Many believed that this was Jai’s debut album, however this was dismissed as false.

The mystery, unpredictability and silence surrounding Jai Paul can be best summed up by a quote from XL Recordings founder and owner Richard Russell,

Jai is a wizard… the way he’s going about things is, I think for many, baffling. But… he’s going about things in the most Jai Paul way you could possibly go about things. And who knows where that may lead.
