After growing up in Australia, Jye moved to London to attend drama school. Jye was in the original West End casts of Wicked, Jersey Boys and Mary Poppins, with his other UK theatre credits including West Side Story, Mamma Mia, Cats, Anything Goes, Love’s Labour's Lost, We Will Rock You and Thrill Me.

After moving to America, Jye took over as Frankie Valli in the Las Vegas production of Jersey Boys before making his Broadway debut as Boq in Wicked for the musical’s 15th anniversary! Jye has worked on screen, most recently appearing in Amazon Freevee’s Leverage: Redemption.

Ten years on from moving to America, Jye is back on the London stage, starring in Syncopation at the Bridewell Theatre.  Directed by Karen Jemison, Jye is performing opposite Devon-Elise Johnson in the UK premiere of  Allan Knee's two-hander ballroom-inspired play.
