Frank Sinatra – Jay Oxenham
Jay has always loved to sing, then one evening whilst out with friends he plucked up the courage to sing on the local karaoke. After a great reception Jay was happily surprised after many commented that he should “be on stars in their eyes!!”
Jay then decided he would try a few competitions, after winning numerous competitions all over the U.K this was he the turning point and he dedicated long hours working hard at his craft and studying Sinatra down to the finest detail, researching though many books and hundreds of hours of Sinatra’s live performances taking careful note of the Sinatra style, phrasing and also the slightest gesture and mannerism.
He was once asked the question “How do you start to take on the persona of such a big icon like Frank Sinatra?” In which he replied “to become the man, you must first understand the man!”He moved into the corporate world and is fast becoming known as the ‘true sound of Sinatra’ performing for the likes of Royal bank of Scotland, Tesco’s, Coopers & Lybrand, BSKYB to name a but a few.
Some of the venues he has performed at include Gibson Hall-London, Telford International Arena, Madejski Stadium-Reading, Chewton Glen Hotel- Dorset, The Alamo-Marine Beach Resort-Dubai, Talk of the Town Live-Milton Keynes, RMS Queen Mary II, Aghios Gordis Beach resort-Corfu the list goes on!
Jay has also helped raise money for the charity Scope and appeared on Meridian television performing for charity events.
Having just completed a successful run at Trunkwell Mansion House in the ‘Frank & Dean show’ Jay is currently travelling worldwide performing for private and corporate functions with his hit show ‘A night with O‘l Blue Eyes!’
