Janie Rudnick will be known to the world as Jai. Born in Portland, OR. She is Japanese, Filipino, and Hawaiian. The only child of a single mother. Jai learned how to be independent from an early age. Moved to Baltimore, MD at the age of 19 for a "fresh start" to pursue a career in music production/engineering at Wrightway Studios. Her biggest passion and dream was always to become a rapper/singer. She grew up listing to Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu. Jai began rapping when she was 16, after rapping for fun on a school bus. Jai started taking rapping more seriously in high school. "I would perform during prom, winter formal, and other high school events. I would rap a nicki minaj verse. All my classmates, and random people from high school would form a circle around me. Screaming and cheering me on". Jai was introduced to B-New Entertainment by a friend "TRAP". "I hope to expand my creativity, and possibly do collaborations with other artists. Who want this dream just as much as I do. I use to hate that I looked different from the other kids in school, because I was Asian. Now I’m embracing it and happy to be original and different". Jai love mixing singing in with rapping, as you can hear when she do a rap verse. She usually adds a little bit of harmonies, or singing in it. Jai is currently working on her debut album. The first single off her album "Sip It Slow", is a great rap, and r/b song. There's no doubt that this artist will make her mark in the music industry. JAI
