Willie Jae (born September 2, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter and entrepreneur from Newark, New Jersey. Jae is most known in the hip hop community for being the first artist of any genre to accumulate both 1 million song plays[1] and 1 million downloads for his 2006 hit single "Suicide".[2] Riding on the success of his single he began ghostwriting several Rap and R&B Records for Major acts.[3][4] Jae has been the go to "hook" writer for Hip Hop's Biggest acts since the young age of 16,[4][5] starting off writing for fun, and ending up ghostwriting for Def Jam writers. After a year of ghostwriting for a major label Jae decided to branch out and become an Indie Artist,[5] while still writing commercial records per Diem.[6] In 2008 Jae retired from writing, and began a new career as an entrepreneur, he liked the idea of working for himself and financial independence. In 2011 Jae was presented with the opportunity to buy into a private social media management company,[7] already becoming a social media powerhouse himself he took the opportunity and bought an estimated 64% of the company.[7] Realizing that he could use the connections he had made in the music industry to expand the company Jae returned to the Hip Hop Music scene,[8] and after reconnecting with former clients he was convinced to come out of retirement, and since signed a publishing deal with Jay-Z's StarRoc.[4][9]
His debut album, Its Tha Roc, is due for release in December 2013, and is promised to be a showcase of Hip Hop and R&B's most talented unsigned artist, and will also feature the single that built him a cult following among fans of Independent Music.,[10] and is highly anticipated by the underground Hip Hop Scene.
