Jay Ellis aka JayOso Smoove was born in Chicago, IL September 1st of 2000. Music was never his primary focus growing up. In his youth he was always a competitor. He participated in basketball, track & football and continued in College. Smoove received a scholarship and then went on to be a two sport athlete at Benedictine University. Unfortunately his scholarship was revoked and he felt like music was his only way. Smoove made the move to Nashville, TN early 2020 and has been striving ever since. He plans on going down as one of the greatest but not just with music.. He wants to help others live a better life anyway possible.
