London, England

Jaya is a British-Indian artist from the U.K. who took the Urban Desi/Pop scene by storm after signing with Universal Music and releasing her catchy single, DJ Do It Again. "It's about those moments when it doesn't matter how tired you are, how much your feet hurt - you just want to get up and dance and have a good time," Jaya said about the track at the time of its release. She also told DesiHits.com that “My album is pop/RnB/dance; there's upbeat songs, mid tempo songs, songs you can dance to, songs you can cry to, songs that you can even laugh to (not at!). When creating an album you don't want a bundle of songs that all sound the same so I've put something for everyone on there.”

Jaya describes her personality as "confident, creative, sexy and larger-than-life" and the songstress always keeps a positive outlook on life. "I always wanted to be the first to do something positive - to make history, even in a small way. When people think of a famous Asian woman, I want to be the name that comes to mind - for good reasons! And I really want to put Indians on the map in a commercial way, so people are more aware of who we are and what we do,” she says.

Jaya told DesiHits.com that her upcoming album should come out later this year and that “I'm working day and night making more music for you all and really look forward to getting back on the stage and showcasing it to you all.” The album is set to feature collaborations with producers Hawkeye, Jonas Jeberg and Parker & James. "It's going to be a feel good album. Every track will be different, but I want people to be able to listen to it as a whole too," the singer promises.
