Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay has revealed that he is quitting music for good.
The singer has split with his record company SonyBMG, and claims he has lost inspiration for composing music.
"I haven't been happy there for a while," he told The Mirror. "I've had some ups and downs but in the end the downs were just too many. When we talked about me leaving, I jumped at the chance."
He explained that his longing for a family has been the driving force behind the decision to leave music behind: "All I'm going to do now is fly my helicopter and look for the right lady to have children with. I feel free and I want to find love. My guitarist has just had a baby girl and made me realise how much I want one. I'm not ready to tie the knot though, because I don't want to lose my house."
He did add that he could be tempted back to a professional music career in the future, if the circumstances were right: "I might be back if I get my inspiration again, but who knows. I don't know what to do next."
