Jay OM

 

Jay OM was born in Milan but now resides in London.  He forged his earliest psychedelic-rock influences playing guitar in local bars in Milan. His romance with the decks beginning in the late 80's whilst working for a local radio station where he was given the opportunity to spin his first record. This love firmly in place the move to London followed in 1998.  Soon thereafter he started djing professionally as Jay OM and in 2003 he studied Sound Engineering and Music Technology and began a solo production project under the name Journey and another collaborative project called Star~Trip.  In 2009 he started a progressive project call Omsphere. He has been rocking the crowds at many of the biggest venues in London as well as outdoor parties and festivals in the UK, Europe, Brazil and South Africa including Boom Festival, Universo Paralello , Fora do Tempo Festival ,  Aurora Festival, Vortex Festival, Boomerang Festival, Psionic Visions Festival, Sonica Festival, Samsara Festival & Life Celebration Festival.

In 2004, Jay conceived the vision of a network of like-minded artists in the psy-trance and ambient genres, all working to promote themselves and each other under one banner. Thus the Free-Spirit label was born... originally intended to focus on artist management, the label's skyrocketing success combined with the enthusiasm of Jay, the artists, and fans enabled Free-Spirit to outgrow its horizons.

Free-Spirit Vol.1 "Brahamaputra", the debut release for Free-Spirit Records compiled by Jay OM, hit the shops in October 2006. In 2007 he compiled Free-Spirit Vol.2 "Eupsychia", in 2008, Free-Spirit Vol.3 "Neophilia" and in 2010 Free-Spirit Vol.5 "Mutual Reality".

Today, Jay's reputation as an active, involved, and hard working individual in the global trance circuit precedes him. His commitment and enthusiasm for trance music has left an indelible impression on the world scene already, and Jay's future has never looked brighter, from his burgeoningly successful record label to his organized events in the UK to his upcoming solo release. Jay works tirelessly at his art and trade and the music he brings to the masses exemplifies the fruits of his labour and energy.
