Rue Jay: From Club Nights to Business Life We caught up with Rue Jay – international house DJ, producer, presenter, entrepreneur, owner of Vivid Ink (one of the UK’s biggest tattoo studio chains), and proud Villa fan (yes, we filmed this at Birmingham City – and yes, the banter was real). Rue’s been a staple in the UK house scene for years, playing at major festivals like Creamfields, Forbidden Forest, Global Gathering, Space Ibiza, and Seoul World DJ Festival. He’s signed to WH0 Plays Records and Stashed Music, with Radio 1 support and big-name backing from the likes of Armin van Buuren.
