Who Is Jai Rian
Christian Hip-Hop/R&B newcomer Jai Rian, had been creating quite a buzz in the world of mainstream music. With sites such as HotNewHipHop.com offering fans a taste of something new, Jai Rian (formerly known as J.Ryan in secular circles), took a sudden turn towards Christ. To understand why, let's take a step back...
Jai is one of 6 siblings born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. Growing up in a city with so much acceptance of sin, he began a battle with drug addiction and gang violence. This led to dangerous company, near-death shootings, and spending his teenage years in and out of jail. Heartache and pain became a familiar lifestyle. To escape the stresses of his trials, Jai dove head first into music.
Music was a positive gateway for Jai Rian to change the direction he was going, but he still felt something missing. To pursue his dreams of writing and producing his own sound, he made the move to California. He became affiliated with grammy nominated producers such as "The Audibles" (Lupe Fiasco, Justin Bieber, etc), but being around mainstream artists and production teams was nothing new to Jai. After working hard and building momentum, he got noticed by Major label Executives. However, the offers he received weren't what he was looking for. During that time, Jai realized the path he was on gave him no peace because it did nothing for the kingdom of God. That's when the decision was made to leave secular music all together. He vowed to begin using his talents and gifts for the Lord, glorifying Him in all he does. This new life, created the change from the old J.Ryan to the new Jai Rian, which means- "The descendant of a king, Conqueror and Victorious".
Now that he is making music for the father, Jai Rian says "I found purpose in my life through the talents and gifts God entrusted to me. I want to encourage and inspire others with my testimony and let God get the glory." Dreaming of one day traveling the world to spread the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ through song, I think it's safe to say Jai Rian's heartfelt lyrics and powerful story-telling songs will bring a vibrant feel to the Christian music industry.
I look forward to hearing more of Jai in the future, Be sure to get his newest single "Abandoned" here.
