An Inspired Chat with JayTheLightworker

We recently had the chance to connect with JayTheLightworker and have shared our conversation below.

Hi JayTheLightworker, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Music. I tend to sit back and shuffle over 12,000 songs I have in my library and let the Universe speak through it. Imagine a multitude of genres synced into one ultimate playlist. I’m given the time to escape reality a bit which I am a bit ashamed to admit. Music has been my unique therapist for a long time. I also consider myself a music enthusiast and I love exploring new records that may go unnoticed. I love expanding my musical taste to other genres in addition to music I fail to understand linguistically. Music is a universal language of energy and I embrace that energy. Overall, music definitely makes me lose track of time and ultimately assist me in finding myself again.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Jay also known as JayTheLightworker via social media/music outlets. I consider myself a spiritual being living a human life. I’m a Business Professional, Music Artist/Musician, Lightworker, and Astrologer as of right now. I primarily focus on the realities of the world we live in and provide my own interpretation of life from an autodidactic experience. Though I do occasionally read books if I’m really interested and do tons of research, my experience comes from the very breath of life. Life has taught me so many lessons as it relates to the topics of love, connection, emotional intelligence, intuition; In addition to the more taboo subjects such as the underworld and the astrological and divine tools we have been provided to help us ultimately find out who we truly are. I use all of the tools of creativity and expression and provide a sometimes edgy and ultimately unique perspective on the topics that I believe I have the right to speak on. JayTheLightworker is my official brand as of right now. I create and produce music which you may catch on to before I officially release it (handling publishing and copyright as I type this). I am also a Drummer/Percussionist. Hmmm.,…what is unique about me and my brand? Simple. It’s me in my most authentic form. I am one of one just like you. I’m just here to help us walk fearlessly in that confidence.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
I think the idea of shrinking myself to fit someone’s comfort has burned me out. I am a weirdo in the upmost way, I am nerdy, hypnotic, introverted, creative, offbeat, awkward, intense, intelligent, intuitive, dark and caring in a whole package to say the least. I just feel like letting this out because I tend to make people uncomfortable for various reasons that are beyond me. One thing I’ve realized that they are, in fact, beyond me and I’ve allowed that to dictate how I should move/act/speak. I’ve strived my whole life to find someone who could accept me for everything I am and I fall short every time for a reason. I must find me and accept myself. What others think of me/feel about me are from my concerns. I’ve learned to be care”free”. Care”less” is a low vibration. Care”free” is the vibe I choose. I’m done shrinking myself for the comfort of others. I let myself down. I choose to live authentically as me. This comes from a person who has the tendency to overdo it when it comes to those I care deeply about. My heart remains the same. I’ve just learned to be more selective with my energy.

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The death of my best friend, my Father. I started crying as soon I typed this. Healing is constant. May he rest in peace.

But to be more definitive for the sake of definition, I have my outlets of music/musical outlets as a drummer whether I am playing at my late father’s local church or playing in a band I’m a part of/collaborating with other Music Artists. Music is my centerpiece. I listen to so much music and it allows me to explore my feelings, my pain and allow me to let my emotions out. As a drummer, being able to physically express myself and explore the sounds as it rings back to me has been a therapeutic journey for a long time. Supportive family/friends helps the healing process as well as some of us are grieving together anyway.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes. I am still very private but authentically….yes. But I mean…who am I really?….I only know myself to the extent that I know myself if that makes sense. To be authentically me, takes a lot of shadow work. I am also evolving and changing. People find out bits and pieces about me as they get to know me or dig into my life or find my social media etc.

But to answer this question, yes I believe the public version is the real me.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
My commitment to the uplifting of our human race. That is my hearts desire. It starts with the people around me and extends to our world. I am an action-oriented person and I like to let my actions speak louder than my words. The reason being, I’ve seen my words get misunderstood far too many times and it taught me to be more about my actions. Being private and a bit dark hardly helps my case either if we’re being honest but that is who I am. To misunderstand someone is a choice. We are all complex beings and it takes work for us to connect and live peaceably on earth. But I do believe this will be misunderstood by many in my life. With the intent I have, the perception is that I should be showing up different as If I have to be on podiums and screaming to the masses and causing revolutionary havoc. Nope…..I will do it my way. And that is why I will be misunderstood.
