Jay Osmond was the instigator on many of the projects that kept the Osmond family together and moving forward during all the years of success.  Jay is the youngest of the original Osmond Brothers group, with a career in entertainment that started at the age of two and a half.

Jay was eight years old when he learned to play the drums, and went on to be voted one of the top 10 drummers in the country during the 1970s.  Jay, along with the brothers, collaborated on many of the hit records.

In 1972, Jay sang lead on Crazy Horses, which skyrocketed to be the Osmonds’ best-selling international single.  Jay choreographed the shows for the Brothers, as well as Donny & Marie’s.  His style was influenced by his karate skills learned from his personal instructor, Chuck Norris.  Jay has also worked behind the scenes as a producer. 

His production credits include the 1970s television programmes, The Donny & Marie Show and The Osmond Family Hour, the 1980s variety show Marie, the movie depicting the life of the Osmond family Side by Side, and the family’s 50th Anniversary PBS special and DVD projects. 

Jay released a solo CD, It’s About Time Again, in 2009, and his autobiography, Stages. In 2022, The Osmonds: A New Musical told Jay’s story of his and his family’s successes which wowed audiences around the UK. Most recently, Jay is starring in his own show in Branson Missouri.
