John Johnson Jr, stage name Jay Squared, was born Sept. 30 1994 in Detroit,MI. Hailing as an indie alternative hip hop artist, Jay’s goal has always been to push the boundaries of the culture and blend sounds into an unconventional audio journey.

Flirting with the lines between poetry and experimental hip hop, Jay Squared has advanced his sound through his work within and out of his native city.Over the course of his 10 year development, he has landed on the metro times (the cities premiere publication) and performed at multiple local festivals (such as arts,beats, and eats). Jay has also cultivated a fan base across streaming platforms working with producers such as Tomppabeats, Dust era,and Dream Easy all while amassing millions of streams.

Self proclaiming himself as the “jikan papa” Jay Squared’s main motivation is to utilize the time we all have to explore art in every sense. He will continue to reach out to different artist ,experiment with the culture and take it to new heights.
