Ayren Sainté, born Jaylen Darnell Davis in Belleville, Illinois, is an American actor, comedian, singer-songwriter, author, and producer. He began his professional career under the name Jaylen Davis, later adopting the name Ayren Sainté in 2025 as a reflection of artistic rebirth, creative transformation, and a new era of personal identity.
Raised in Illinois, Sainté developed a passion for storytelling early in life, which became the foundation of his multi-faceted creative career. He began acting in his twenties, earning television credits in All American: Homecoming, The Rookie, iCarly (2021), The Orville, and Expert vs Expert. Known for his emotionally grounded performances and expressive presence, he quickly gained recognition as a versatile on-screen talent.
Sainté expanded his work into independent film, appearing in a range of short films including The Offering, A Space Karaoke Odyssey, and Worklife. He is also the writer and creator of 2nd Generation, a feature-length film exploring themes of generational identity, legacy, and self-discovery.
As a stand-up comedian, he combines introspective humor with emotionally resonant storytelling, often drawing on themes of masculinity, vulnerability, faith, heartbreak, and transformation. Following a significant life event and a profoundly personal trip to Tokyo, Japan, Sainté redefined the direction of his career. "The trip changed my life," he has said. "It was in Tokyo that Ayren was born."
Inspired by this period of renewal, Sainté leaned further into his musical ambitions. As a pop artist, his sound incorporates synth-driven production, harmonic layering, cinematic atmosphere, and deeply personal lyricism. He credits Michael Jackson, Hans Zimmer, EJAE, BLACKPINK, and Alan Walker as key influences on both his sonic and emotional style. His music explores heartbreak, identity, spiritual rebirth, emotional survival, and the process of becoming someone new after loss.
Sainté’s recording career began with his debut single, How I’ve Been, the first official song released under the Ayren Sainté name. The track introduced the emotional foundation of his artistry, pairing raw confessional writing with themes of grief, survival, faith, Tokyo, and personal rebirth. Its narrative captures the difficult process of moving from heartbreak and emotional collapse into spiritual renewal, relocation, and the decision to live again through purpose and art.
In March 2026, Sainté released his first EP, Curtain Call, ahead of his debut album Ghost. Led by the single Five Years From Now, the EP served as a bridge between his earliest heartbreak-driven material and the larger conceptual world he would later explore on Ghost. Where How I’ve Been introduced Sainté’s voice through direct emotional testimony, Curtain Call expanded his sound and storytelling into a more cinematic, forward-looking statement about closure, legacy, and what life could become after loss.
Sainté’s debut album, Ghost, was released on May 1, 2026. The project marked his first major full-length musical statement, capturing the aftermath of love, silence, transformation, and self-reconstruction. One of its standout releases, Spaceships, has become one of Sainté’s most popular songs to date, helping define the album’s atmospheric and emotionally cinematic sound. The upcoming deluxe edition of Ghost is planned for summer 2026 and is intended to close a chapter of his past while expanding the album’s themes of release, healing, and artistic rebirth.
Beyond individual releases, Sainté’s musical goals are rooted in building a long-term global artist identity. He aims to become a stadium-level performer, develop emotionally powerful live shows, and create music that merges vulnerability with scale. His artistic vision is shaped by the discipline of K-pop performance, the emotional weight of cinematic scoring, and the timelessness of classic pop storytelling. Rather than treating music as a side pursuit, Sainté views it as one of the central pillars of his creative life.
Sainté is the founder of 1108 Global Group, a creative and strategic holding company that owns Third Era, his production company focused on original content in film, music, podcasting, and publishing. Through Third Era, he created and hosts Too Much a podcast exploring themes of grief, spiritual growth, healing, and creative identity. He is also the author of an upcoming debut novel focused on emotional trauma, family legacy, and self-reinvention.
Known for his emotional intelligence, multidimensional artistry, and ability to channel personal growth into creative expression, Ayren Sainté continues to build a body of work that fuses purpose with performance. He resides in Arizona with his Chihuahua, Nibbles, and enjoys cooking gourmet meals as a creative outlet away from the spotlight.
