Anitra Jay is an acoustic soul singer-songwriter based in Houston, TX. With a recent musical feature on HGTV's Tiny House Hunters, Anitra Jay presents a whimsically soulful all-caution-to-the-wind interpretation of music. Born and raised in New Orleans, Anitra's vocals highlight her roots in Jazz, Soul, and Gospel.
With a musical style often compared to India.Arie and Chrisette Michele, Anitra Jay offers a sweet down-to-earth blend of soul and poetry with modern sensibilities. Her personality and expert improvisational skills set her performances square between the raw edge of improv comedy and sultry soaked soul.
She effortlessly combines soul-catching melodies with tales of real life experiences wrought with motivational messages that leave the listener entertained, inspired, and ready to take on the world. She is currently working on her fourth album, a whimsical take on life called "Work in Progress."

"Wowed my guests."
"Anitra Jay wowed my guests with her voice and guitar. Everybody was asking me where I found her. She is a great talent and was always gracious and polite and infectious with her charm. I will definitely have her play again, to a bigger crowd than before because now all my friends are asking me when she is coming back. Anitra is a gem, a real talent who absolutely makes a party."
