Danton Jay is a singer, songwriter, and sustainability advocate from Victoria, BC. With Belgian descent and roots on Canada’s West Coast, Jay is influenced by European lifestyles and cultural movements. Fully bilingual, he lays out refined tracks with flavours of rock, jazz, blues, and R&B.

The environmental theme stems from Jay’s time at the University of Victoria where he researched sustainable development initiatives.

In 2011 Jay set off travelling throughout Eastern and Central Europe seeking creative inspiration from the environmental challenges he would encounter with the intention to express his research in song lyrics. After months of vagabonding, he cooped up in Southern France to relentlessly write his songs.

In the spring of 2013 Danton Jay released ‘Morcenx’ recorded with Grammy and Juno winning producer Joby Baker—the album illustrates Jay’s rock and jazz background as he is highly influenced by artists like Chet Baker, and The Philosopher Kings; however, his smooth vocals and moody guitar give him a distinct European flair. Hearing Danton Jay will make you think, and it will make you move.
