My Catalog
Jay Honest made headlines in 2020, by cutting ties with industry giants Sony and The Orchard to reclaim full ownership of his creative output. When corporate loopholes led to the unfair targeting and removal of his legacy catalog, Honest took a bold stand for his community, pulling 70% of his entire discography from restrictive platforms and making it available completely free on Audiomack. This decisive move marks a powerful new chapter in his career, one defined by raw authenticity, a refusal to be compromised by major label politics, and a deep dedication to keeping his music directly accessible to the fans who built him.
