When he arrived in the Dominican Republic in 2007, he launched his first EP, "Siempre tango culpa", a 4-song album in Spanish Reggeaton with his friend Alex-One. In 2009, Jeison decided to form the group 2BJay with his brother Richy Jay, concocting the album "It's Over". They went on to perform live together, winning local audiences with the song "Quitate la ropa". In 2011, Jeison launched his solo career in the Reggaeton and Rap Kreyol style.
