JAY, Joseph Lopez, is a Hispanic 15 year old musician/songwriter and
over all music lover. Ever since he was a small child music has been a
major part of his life. “I’ve always had a passion for music, and
an ambition to create” says JAY. He grew up playing in the church
watching and feeling the worship music and started playing drums when
he was around six years old. At age nine, he picked up his first
acoustic guitar and started the journey of writing as he learned
different styles of music from his dad.
While having a passion for music Jay’s parents have an amazing
passion for missionary work, specifically for unfortunate children all
over but mostly in Mexico where conditions are very poor. His family
began to bake cakes and sell them to raise money for these missions
with all the hard work and money raised for children in Mexico to have
a pair of shoes on their feet. As a family they go out to the mission
field every 2 years, with all the money raised from those prior 2
years.
Wanting to use his talent to help his family to raise money for
this cause, Jay started releasing music late 2018. Jay states, “I
released an EP in May 2019, titled “Helping Hand”. It was there
that the Helping Hand Foundation was born bringing music to the
missions and worshipping with people in need. I also believe that
music brings everyone together. Because in reality, music is a
universal language. I think it’s amazing that you can create
something beautiful out of nothing.”
