Jay Shephard Shares “Feelings” (Video)
Jamaal Marc Anthony Saunders, known professionally as Jay Shephard, is world renowned for his distinct sound. From the deep roots of reggae to the high tempo beats of dancehall infused with the modern sounds of pop, he appeals to an extensive audience. This genre-blending singer is a dynamic reggae fusion artist and vocalist who was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. Jay Shephard molds his music to be medicine for the soul and therefore seeks to release strictly relatable sounds.
Early influences by artists such as Bob Marley, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Michael Jackson and Gentleman all formed the dynamic vibes released by this eclectic artist. The name “Jay Shephard” resulted from a traumatic near-death experience where Jamaal was shot in the face by a former friend which resulted in the loss of his left eye. This experience shifted the entire course of his life and resulted in him being gifted with the ability to sing.
In 2013 Jay Shephard secured a distribution deal with SONY “RED” Distribution through Grammy Nominated artist Skeelo music. Jay Shephard then went on to publish his book “Take A Shot at Your Dreams; Before Murphy’s Law takes a Shot at you” to encourage persons to become the best version of themselves. In 2018, he started his entertainment company Good Vybz Nation LLC and went on to win the Elevation Award for “Best International Artist” later that year.
His work with Grammy Award Winning producer Troyton Rami (Black Shadow Records), produced hits like “No Surrender”, “Real One” and “Miss You”. In 2020 Jay was awarded a Billboard plaque for his single “Lady Love”, which is featured on the Billboard Charting “Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica; The Reggae Collector’s edition” album. Jay continues to make an impact on both the local and international music scene with his latest releases.
And continues so with his new single / video, “Feelings.” Directed by Kenny Gray, Jay touches on matters of the heart, as he expresses his unwavering affection for his love interest.
The highly relatable track expresses raw emotions as he explains his experiences with this lady. Far from the typical R&B single, Jay Shephard belts out impressive vocals infused with reggae undertones on record.

Fat Trel Releases New Single “Anything”
Following a well received headlining performance at DMV Summer Jam over the weekend, Washington D.C. wordsmith Fat Trel continues his Boosa’s Keeper campaign by dropping the music video for “Anything.” The HD clip for the Hollywood Bangers‘ produced track finds the green-eyed entrepreneur and his posse enjoying the warm weather as Summer comes to an end. Trel’s latest body of work serves as an homage to slain childhood friend Darrell “Boosa Da Shoota” Marshal and includes guest appearances from IDK, EST Gee, Skilla Baby, Millyz, NSC Kai, and Almighty.
“This album is dedicated to my lil brother Boosa, who passed away when I was locked up. I put a lot of time into this album and was going through a lot while making it. I got sober and went to therapy as well. So you will hear a lot of pain and just a better version of me throughout each song. I’m introducing the world to an older, better, and evolved version of FAT TREL,” the MGE recording artist reveals in a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about the project.
Martrel Reeves PKA Fat Trel was a child far more ambitious and cognizant of his surroundings than the norm. At age seven, he professed ambitions to be a rapper, while peers delivered the proverbial “I have a Dream” Speech about aspirations to be nurses, doctors, lawyers, and fire fighters. As peers sat excited by the endless possibilities of the future, Fat Trel sat perplexed by the harsh realities of DC; the place he called home. Fat Trel exited high school at age 15, caught up in the lure and necessity of street life; a road more traveled when the have-nots impose an immediate call to action. Unconvinced high school education would support his family or cultivate his ambitions, Fat Trel hit the ground running in pursuit of being an emcee and has not stopped running since.
Fat Trel has nurtured and grown his organic storytelling ability with creative word play and pulverizing flow. Taking a raw approach to music, some would say as graphic and grimy as the streets of DC, but equally memorable and captivating nonetheless. He holds no punches and tells each story with such relativity they appear verbatim, in a matter of fact nature, that illustrates he is genuinely home grown and not caught up in the idea of being from the streets.
