Your Morning Coffee
“Working for companies like Warner Music and Universal Music Groups, Jay got to know just about every facet of the music-making process. In 2015, he struck off on his own and launched a consulting business. To help raise awareness of his services, he began curating a weekly newsletter called Your Morning Coffee. What started out as an email sent out to a few hundred friends eventually grew to over 15,000 readers and is now one of the most influential newsletters in the music industry.”
- Simon Owens, The Business of Content
