Who is Jaykae?

Born in Small Heath, Jaykae, real name Janum Khan, is a British rapper who supports Blues. He started his journey in music in around 2008 and has since been described as the "essential voice of the city" of Birmingham.

In 2017, his "Every Country" single was produced by Skepta and was later named Radio 1's Tune of the Week. Appearances on Charlie Sloth's 'Fire in the Booth' and the BBC's 'The BBC Live Lounge' saw him perform a number of his songs.

Jaykae has performed at Glastonbury, MADE, Reading Festival, Creamfields and Wireless Festival. He has supported Skepta and Stormzy at their shows and also appeared to be brought out during Drake's show in Birmingham in 2019.

Away from music, the rapper appeared as Azaar in season two of 'Man Like Mobeen'.

He then appeared in season three of Chicken Shop Date in 2018. His acting career also saw him play Willow in Amazon Prime Video series 'Jungle'.

In 2023, Blues and Jaykae linked-up to promote the home and away shirt ahead of the 2023/24 season.

Jaykae was also used in the promotion of Troy Deeney's move to the club in 2021, with the striker revealing the rapper had been trying to bring him to the club for four years.
