Nat Jay nominated for Songwriter of the Year
Singer, songwriter and recording artist Nat Jay has been nominated for SOCAN Songwriter of the Year at the BC Country Music Awards. Along with co-writers Angela Harris and Michael Behm, the team has been nominated for “Family Matters,” a song that Harris recorded and released in March of this year.
Nat Jay was born and raised in Kelowna and currently resides in Vancouver. She has built a reputation through the success of her own pop/folk songs, which have been placed in film and TV on networks around the world, including ABC, The CW, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Lifetime.
“Last year I was invited to participate in a country song camp with the BCCMA, and it was the first time I’d written country music. It was also the first time I’d met Michael and Angela, but we sat in a tiny little room, and somehow came up with this really big song.”
“Family Matters” has been supported by Canadian radio this year, being added and featured on at least thirteen stations across the country, including Vancouver’s popular JRFM.
Also included in the category are heavy hitters Aaron Pritchett, Chad Brownlee, and The Higgins. The awards gala will take place Sunday, November 20 at Coquitlam’s Red Robinson Theatre.
“The country world has really welcomed me with open arms,” says Jay. “I’m heading down to Nashville in February, and I think I’ll be writing a lot more with cowboy boots on.”

NAT JAY BIO
Nat Jay's songs have been placed on networks around the world, including ABC, The CW, MTV, Nickelodeon, CBC, CTV, Global TV, and Lifetime. Compared with powerful performers like Joni Mitchell, Patsy Cline, Alanis Morissette, and the Dixie Chicks, Nat Jay's compelling and highly accomplished vocal delivery will certainly turn heads in a noisy club, but it is her emotive songwriting ability that will steal the hearts of each and every audience member.
"Nat Jay’s CD is hard-wired with a yearning character and her voice and songs have that ageless quality that is magnetic and elusive. This is solid, soulful stuff." -Vernon Morning Star
