His debut single, "Autobahn," released on a significant date - his father Jamel Wade's birthday on September 28, 2020 - marked a new chapter in his artistic journey.
Aside from his musical accomplishments, Jay7's personal life is equally fulfilling. He tied the knot with Financial guru turned hip-hop artist Jasmine Wade, also known as Raquel Lagrand, in 2015.
