In My Own Words

Welcome to my website!  Browse around and listen to the music, and buy a few CD's if you feel so inclined.

I've signed on to a LIAP Media Project  involving twelve local songwriters called "Celebrate!" It's a wonderful project with it's own website CelebrateSongwriting.com, a documentary,  a compilation CD with a concert-release booked at the University of Alberta's Timm's Centre for the Arts in April 2012. Please see "News & Updates" page for more.

I would be delighted to hear from you, by the way, so please drop me a line at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

With Love and Peace, Jay

 
 
Proud Canadian Soldier

pcsIn spring of 2005, two retired soldiers, songwriter Jay Anthony Willis and singer Jill Younghusband formed a partnership with Captain Brian Greenwood and the Royal Canadian Artillery Band to create a musical poppy, "Proud Canadian Soldier", to commemorate Canada’s Year of the Veteran.

Jay was inspired to write Proud Canadian Soldier in 1999 after attending a Remembrance Day ceremony at the National Monument in Ottawa.  At every public performance of this occasional solemn piece, Jay's songwriting evokes positive, emotional and personal responses.
