(December 13, 2022) - "When someone says, ‘Thank you for your service,' you immediately look back at what your service looked like...the ‘Cold Reality,'" said JayP about the meaning of his new single "Cold Reality" off the Canadian label Big Records. "I don't just write about veterans but mental health issues as well."

Born Jacob Ploch in New Jersey, JayP explained that he too is suffering from mental health issues because of childhood traumas and military experiences during his deployment to Afghanistan as a Combat Medic. That's where his back was permanently injured.

"I grew up in a conservative household that taught us about work and what work equals to...told me music was not a reliable workforce," JayP said. "I made the choice to do that (music)...someone gave me the opportunity."

That person that JayP talked about that gave him the opportunity to make money doing what he loves (music) maybe his management company Grace Musicians Group and his new record label Big Records. His vocal sound is chillingly perfect with a Country/Rock/R&B vibe. Not only is he a songwriter, but a bass player, pianist, and drummer. He is also a member of a motorcycle club. As an Army veteran Jacob served five years before he was injured and forced to retire. He also attended the American Military University in Rome.

"I want to keep pretty humble," he said about his new career in entertainment. "I want people to hear it ("Cold Reality") and understand that people know how you feel...I want to cater veterans still looking back at those hard times and say, ‘Trauma don't need to define you'."

JayP is performing consistently now, and you will find him regularly in clubs in the New York area, such as Spokes on Public Square, Turning Stone Casino and Hall Pass Tavern. www.JayP-Artist.com
