Biography

Jordan Poirier Whelan, also known as Jay Honest is an artist unlike many, being the CEO of his own Fashion & Entertainment Label HONESTGANG , a published model & public relations agent, Jay Honest is a man who loves to stay busy. From a young age, Jay Honest's experience in life was extremely traumatic. From growing up in a broken home, at times with no water, an abusive alcoholic father, losing his first best friend at just 18 years old & his brother Matthias at the age of 23, all while fighting homelessness & addictions between the ages of 15-19, finishing high school, going to college, reaching his goals in the music industry & having his first child Jayden. Jay never had a good role model & decided his job, was to not only build a future for his family, but also be the father he never had growing up, a good one. Disposing of his childhood to chase his dreams, listening and memorizing lyrics from artists such as 2pac, Eminem & Biggie at the young age of 6, while also having an alternative rock & country music influence from his brother & mother respectively, gives jay a sort of versatility we have not seen in a very long time in the music industry! Not to mention a really interesting story that leaves us wondering how he does it all.
