Jay Della Valle (born Jason Christopher Della Valle on August 19, 1979) is a rock and roll singer-songwriter from Wayne, NJ. His music has been described as Alternative Pop-Rock; "Our Lady Peace meets Ryan Adams- with a Mustache!" The Jersey Beat says "this is basic, tuneful, no-nonsense meat and potatoes rock executed with considerable skill, passion and conviction.” American Songwriter says Della Valle's music is "a perfectly pleasing pop-rock delight, done with a crisp, ringing, straightforward melodicism and total dearth of pretense that's genuinely refreshing to hear.” Jay Della Valle and his band have shared the stage with artists such as Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Wilco, & Jesse Malin.

A musician since childhood, Della Valle's talent was nurtured from a young age by his father, a singer and bandleader in a wedding entertainment company. In 1998, while attending New York University, he joined the 8 piece Ska outfit, "The Offbeats."
