CJay was born in the Bronx, New York. He
became interested in graffiti art at a
young age, and began experimenting with
spray cans and airbrushes not long
after. Always wanting to make a living
from his art, at the age of twelve he
began painting t-shirts at local flea
markets, and soon after expanded his art
to walls, cars, clothes….anything with a
paintable surface.
“It was at the High School of Art &
Design in NYC that I really began to
fully appreciate what it meant to be an
artist. Being around so many young
talents and the exposure I got to the
city helped me refine my skills,” CJay
says.
After graduating he began an
apprenticeship at Tattoo Seen in the
Bronx which lasted two years.
In 1995 he attended Fantasy Fest in
Key West Florida, and, impressed with
the art of body painting, began the
process of changing career paths. In
1996 he moved to Miami and began body
painting in nightclubs both in Miami and
NYC, working on both club patrons and
dancers.
”Word spread quickly about my
painting, and painting in nightclubs
turned into painting for private
events,” he laughs. “Corporate America
took notice and hired me as a marketing
and promotional tool to their great
success…and mine!”
Past clients include Nike, Bacardi,
Grey Goose, Jägermeister, PepsiCo,
Revlon, Spin, Sobe Water, Bombay
Sapphire, Cirque Du Sole, Marlboro,
Camel, the National Football League,
NBC, Extreme Variety, America’s Next Top
Model (season one), to name a few. His
work has taken him around the world to
exotic locations such as London, Spain,
Germany, Amsterdam, and Greece, as well
as across the United States.
He has additionally worked on CD
covers and been featured in books such
as Ibiza 24 2000 by Ralf Uhler. He has
also been featured in Paper and the
Miami Herald.
CJay is currently working by
appointment only for private galas and
special events, and he specializes in
product marketing and concept design and
development.
Additionally, he teaches the art of
body painting at South Florida makeup
schools, and has lectured at
universities in upstate New York on the
same topic. “I’m a big believer in
advancing knowledge on the subject, it’s
one of the purest forms of art around.”
With his expertise and background,
CJay is, without question, one of the
best in the business to speak on the
subject.
