Jay Jay French is a human enigma. His playing has inspired countless guitarists all over the world, and 30+ years after founding Twisted Sister, he is truly a living legend. As a manager, he has worked with such diverse artists as Sevendust, songwriters Andrew Fortier and David Forman, blues guitar legend Johnny Gale, jam band heroes The Sound Of Urchin, underground new york legends The Step Kings, and Fred Sargolini - the FS of the world-famous new york DJ duo Ming & FS.

Combined as a guitarist/manager/producer, Jay Jay has been responsible for the sale of over 12 million records worldwide and has 39 gold and platinum albums from 8 different countries, reflecting the success.

Jay Jay has been in the rock'n'roll circus for three decades, and knows both sides of the stage and the microphone. Yet he keeps away from the gossip headlines and glamour nonsense that the industry is so infected with. He's a New Yorker, but more so an international player that impresses on all levels. He's tough when he's on a mission, but his dedication, knowledge and trust is unheard of.

Jay Jay is the real deal - both as a musician, producer and manager, he's one of the most genuine persons I have had the pleasure of working with in the music industry. I'm proud to call him a good friend.
