We had the good fortune of connecting with Jaiquai Wright and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jaiquai, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Here’s a simple answer to that… you don’t. You never give up. If you are truly pationate about something that’s no option, we all have ups and downs, and makes mistakes but that’s what makes us who we are today. You have to believe in yourself and keep going. Always remember your why, and if your why is big enough you will always fight through adversity.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I like to be different from others when I make music. I would consider myself to be a very versatile artist. I don’t make just one genre or style of music. Consistency is the key to success. If your path is easy it’s not worth it there are many struggles that come within the music industry. I’ve learned many things during my journey, to never let hate get to you, and to be true to yourself. To anyone who is reading this I want you to know that it’s not over, chase that dream, make that call, do whatever it takes to succeed in what you love. Also stream Jpaq on all platforms!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Here in Columbus there is a lot to do. If I were personally planning a day I would probably like to enjoy some Dave and busters, maybe visit Sharon woods park. Or even take them to one of my shows if there is one set up.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to first and foremost give a shout out to God. Without God nothing is possible I give all credit to him for my talents. I also want to give a shout out to my family for always supporting me. Shout out to my mom my dad, brothers and sisters. I’d also like to give a shout-out to my girlfriend for staying by my side through hard times. Also always remember to pat yourself on the back.
