jai Moi has been honing her skills since the first moment she opened her mouth to sing her first song to the first time she held pen to write her first poem. The arts is more than a second language to jai; it has become a part of her that is inseparable.
A country girl at heart, loving music was one of her very first memories. Young jai would sing on her steps to crop fields, her dolls, and her drawings. At the age of four when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she first and foremost responded, "a singer." She knew her destiny from the beginning and time would prove her right.
Inspired by artists like Kenneth "babyface" Edmonds and Anita Baker, love and romance were always at the forefront of her writings. The yearnings of love appealed to her and she began writing poetry and songs about love at an early age. She began merging her poetry into songs because it was unbearable for her to share her poetry:
For me, poetry is too personal. Speaking the words alone is too intimate for me. But when I sing them, I am able to express how I feel without having to say them. It’s like telling someone for the first time “I love you.” You’re nervous, sweaty palms and the whole nine… But singing them…yea…that’s how I am comfortable sharing those feelings. …whether it’s lovey-dovey feelings or the dark, painful ones.
As a multi-threat artist that embraces her uniqueness, jai is learning the bass, takes music theory/history classes, directs, writes, and shoots short films. She has several film projects in various stages of development at this time. Her CD, “Vocally Yours” is a favorite among listeners internationally. jai is currently working on a dance short-play project and will be releasing a new single and video, 'Alright,' that will be released in the very near future. According to her it's some of her best work and is very progressive.
With a skill set that encompasses the arts of music, photography, film, and modeling, jai continues to perfect her craft. The spirit of young jai lives on in jai Moi as she reaches for a bigger stage literally and figuratively.
Make sure you check out her new single "Alright" that will be released on iTunes and Amazon 9.17.2013! It's a dance song that will surely get you up out of your seat and an anthem for the ladies!

Jai Moi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I learned time ain’t always on our side
The thought has been screwing with my mind
People coming and going driving me crazy
I wanna scream cause the pain here lately
(Refrain)
Remembering what we were
Clock blocked us wouldn’t stop for us
(Pre-chorus 1)
But here I am all alone
No more calling this your home
I’m just tired and fed up and it’s time for me to move on
(Chorus)
I loved and begged and pleaded baby (shhhh)
Put up with everything you gave me
Forgave the misleading statements but...
You couldn’t see through the forest for me
Stilettos on I'm going out tonight
I’m gonna be alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright - alright - alright
Alright
(Verse 2)
I can walk around each and every day
Pretend to the world like everything's ok
But reality set in
It’s sad to say we’re no longer friends
(Refrain)
Remember what we were
Ups and downs yet still I loved
Clock blocked us wouldn’t even stop for us
(Pre-chorus 2)
I’m ok that I’m alone
Erased your number from my phone
I just wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna move on!
(Chorus) 2x
(Bridge)
Had to let go and get back to me
Cause if I don’t do it
I know you’ll never do it for me
No time to waste
The time is now
I packed your drawer
No worries now
(Collision)
I’m letting go
Yea yea yea yea yeaaaa
(Chorus)
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright - alright - alright
Alright
In the song "Alright," Jai Moi reflects on a past relationship, acknowledging that sometimes time isn't on our side. She sings about the pain caused by people coming and going, and confronts the reality that the relationship has ended, despite the love they shared. Jai Moi admits that she put up with a lot but ultimately couldn't convince her partner to see the world through her eyes.
The chorus of the song takes a turn from the frustration and resignation of the verses, as Jai Moi declares her independence and readiness to move on. She repeats "It's alright" as a mantra, reminding herself and perhaps her former partner that she will be okay without them. The bridge serves as a moment of empowerment, as Jai Moi asserts her agency and control over her own life. The song ends with a final chorus, this time with added emphasis and energy, as Jai Moi seems to have fully embraced her newfound freedom.

I know you think that I am over you
But I have just better things to do
Than crying over you, I really got to move
On with the love that I keep around
I got my life and I'm a fire
I got my voice to make it higher
Show me the way I could be stronger
Life's too short to look down at you

Darling, I look up at the sun
The rising of another dawn
I got some time to sing the love
I got no time for you on board
I'm not angry with you, boy
I just really wanna move on
Things gonna be alright
Things gonna be just fine
Things gonna be alright
If love is around
