Biography

FOUNDER OF ENDURE STUDIOS – ARTIST, SONGWRITER, & PRODUCER. Driving with a high energy sound that brings together his Texas roots and the big city, Jay Denton combines genre-blending styles with storytelling lyrics and dynamic melodies. Growing up in Dallas, TX, jumping to LA, and working globally has given Denton a wide range of musical influences and life experiences.

 After a couple years songwriting in Nashville, and touring with The Band Perry – training them in Krav Maga, he returned to LA to record and release his first full album debut, “Locked,” which gained exposure through placements on shows ranging from The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, and The Bachelor, to ESPN and the Olympics. This gave Denton the opportunity to start his own studio, ENDURE Studios, in Los Angeles.

Combining his interest internationally along with his music, in 2019 Denton traveled back and forth to Lebanon, and wrote/recorded an album with Syrian refugees in Beirut. Returning to the US he paired up the songs with US based artists in LA to create a global album blending languages, styles, and stories. The full deluxe edition album, “For Home,” under the moniker, ENDURE, released on August 14th, 2020, and a documentary about the project, Endure: Lebanon, released on September 29th, 2020. Denton continues to write and produce both for the ENDURE Studios artists, himself, and is planning the next ENDURE series project in 2022 ENDURE VETERANS.
