Metro Atlanta native Jai’Len Josey is the sound of Southern comfort. From early beginnings Jai’Len’s musical career began before she was even born. While her mother, then the director of creative services at So So Def Recordings, was pregnant with Jai’Len, she noticed something special early on. By the time Jai’Len was old enough to make memories, her mother would expose her to the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Stevie Nicks, Marvin Gaye, and Billy Joel, turning house-cleaning sessions into unintentional lessons in melody and heart. It wasn’t long before she took to the art of performing and honing her craft in various plays such as Pearl in the Broadway production of The SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage! She took her music career to the next level releasing her debut EP Illustrations, which eventually helped her land a deal with Def Jam.

Since then, Jai’Len Josey has put in the work to become the star she is. Releasing her label debut EP Southern Delicacy in 2023, she’s shown the growth in her music and as an artist. Her path for 2025 and beyond is clear and her future is shining bright. Jai’Len Josey is the one to watch.
