Jay Rin is a Nashville based touring Alt. Americana rock singer-songwriter and entertainer with a sound that draws from folk and blues and classic and modern rock influences. Vocally she draws influence from fierce female songbirds like Jewel, Melissa Etheridge, Linda Ronstadt, Chrissie Hynde, Blondie, Janis Joplin, and Stevie Nicks. She likes to call her style of music “on the fringe” - folksy, yet bluesy, yet rocking, yet edgy, yet soft... something else there you can't put your finger on. It's different. It's fringe.
Her 2019 folk apocalyptic single 'Dance in the River' got her her first radio play on Nashville's top independent radio station Lightning 100, and her 2021 release of 'Trick or Treat’ was featured on a Halloween segment of WMOT in October of 2022 after the release of her spunky cult-horror-esque music video.

Jay Rin is originally from the city of Whittier in Los Angeles, CA and she got her musical start in her family home where spontaneous jam sessions and singing harmonies in the living room were a regular occurrence belting out Proud Mary, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, Heartbreaker, American Pie, Let it Be, Desperado, and many others.
By the age of 18, she had multiple album releases in a southern pop duo Deep Fried Bubblegum with her father Jimmy Becker, 1 solo album, and 300+ solo/duo gigs under her belt from fairs, festivals, charity events, to casinos and restaurants all over California.
In 2013 she made the move to Nashville to study commercial vocal performance and music business at Belmont University. In 2015 she backed up the Rolling Stones at LP Field (now Nissan stadium) with the Belmont University ensemble Chorale. During school, she interned with Nashville’s top vocal coaches Janine Le Clair at Music Row Voice and Robin Earl at Gary Earl Productions and later worked with Singdaptive - a premiere personalized online vocal teaching resource for singers.
