JW2 is the global music branding imprint spearheaded by international recording artist, social justice activist, and House-Music ambassador Jay "Sweat" Williams (CEO/Director of Artist Development & Branding)
Queens New York native Jay Williams is a social justice activist, international recording artist and award-winning songwriter recognized by Spin, MTV, Rolling Stone and Billboard for his contributions in elevating the genre of House Music to pop radio rotation, mainstream notoriety and global sales. From a young background vocalist and performer, Jay Williams catapulted from New York’s underground club culture and the post-Paradise Garage era then inevitably exploded to the top of the Billboard charts in 1990 with his signature anti-apartheid anthem and social-conscious smash “SWEAT” (until I’m soaking wet) on Big Beat/Atlantic Records. With international follow-up singles and tours throughout the UK, Canada, Asia, and South Africa, Jay's fiery stage performances and colorfully inclusive brand of underground artistry to the masses activated a new generation of diverse Club Heads to unite, love, party, and dance with a purpose. Collectively over a million records worldwide sold, Jay Williams discography and catalogue includes a sporadic handful of #1 chart-topping dance floor hits over the years that include the gospel-house classic “TESTIFY”, “Get On Up”, “It’s Over”, the soaring 4-octave vocal range rendition of Blue Magic’s “Look Me Up”, the self-written and produced smash “Could This Be Love” and more. Jay Williams is currently the CEO and Executive Director of Artist Development & Branding at JW2 Entertainment.
