Jay Douglas (musician)

[1][5] According to a 2012 profile in Now magazine, Douglas' first Canadian performances were at Toronto's Central Technical School, when he was a student there.

[1] In 2012, Seattle-based Light in the Attic Records produced a retrospective on the arrival of reggae to North America that relied heavily on Douglas's performances, knowledge, and contacts.

[5] Matt Sullivan, a producer with Light in the Attic, called Douglas "one of the finest soul-reggae singers in North America".

Errol Nazareth, writing in the Toronto Sun called it ironic that it required producers from Seattle to fully recognize the significance of Douglas's musical contributions.

[2] Douglas was shortlisted for the 2020 Juno Awards, for Reggae Recording of the Year, for "Jah Children".
