Growing up in Philadelphia during the formative years of Top 40 radio, it was difficult not to have the showbiz bugbite Jay Michaels.


"Philly" was a hotspot of entertainers and record producers: In fact, in Jay's neighborhood alone he was surrounded by hitmakers. Jay, who loved music and played drums, would often jam with kids in the neighborhood.

Who knew that many of them would blossom to become the superstars of the music industry? This was the birth of the sound of Philadelphia, music that has not been duplicated since.

Over his career of working in radio and television, Jay quickly learned that music was the lifeblood for all people;

Music takes you through a myriad of emotions and in short is the "soundtrack of your life."

Jay has had a passion to bring this music and the artists, many who are his lifelong friends in the industry, to the forefront. Also, to give a platform to these "architects of the rhythm" who won't get airplay on traditional radio stations as their formats restrict them to only playing the "oldies" by these artists but not "new" music from these talented individuals. Jones Communications of the Bahamas saw Jay's vision and assisted him in bringing it to reality! Rewind the Rhythm had its debut earlier this year in a place that feels more like home to Jay than his birthplace, that being, the Bahamas!

He has made so many friends in the Bahamas and now his dream comes true as he plays the music he loves and gives all of these artists a chance to shine once again.
