Jason Rowe, who formerly recorded under the name "Jai", is a British pop/soul singer currently residing in Berlin, Germany.

Biography

Rowe was born in Yeovil, England. He moved to London in the mid-1990s, and began working with producer Joel Bogen. A single, "Don't Give Me Away", was recorded under the name Jai and was released on London indie M&G Records in January of 1997. The success of the single in Britain and across Europe attracted the attention of RCA Records, who released Jai's debut album, "Heaven", later that same year. The album featured mostly original works co-written by Rowe with Bogen, Christopher Bemand, and Rob Watson, as well as contemporary covers of the Arthur Hamilton standard "Cry Me a River" and J.J. Cale's "Magnolia". The album's single "I Believe" was a minor hit in the United States, and the album peaked at #49 on "Billboard"'s Top Heatseekers Chart.

In a February 1998 article in "Rolling Stone", Rowe discussed his vocal influences and overall style, likening the content of his first album to a mix of Portishead and Prince.

After a couple of years residing in New York City, Rowe returned to Europe, eventually settling in Berlin. He began writing new songs, and also penned songs for the German hip hop band "Die Fantastischen Vier". On February 23, 2007, his first solo album under his full name, "Lovelife", was released on German record label Four Music.

He is currently dating former reality-TV star and artist, Ally Hilfiger. [ [http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2007/10/ally_hilfiger_says_shes_not_ri.html Page Six, "Ally Hilfiger Says She's Not Rich, But She Is Brain-Dead", October 22, 2007] ]
