Jay Trubel

## Season History

**Jay Trubel**, labeled as **The Indie Rocker** is a contestant on **The Mad House 4**. Jay was a member of the Outsiders clique.

**Hometown:** Amsterdam, the Netherlands
**Current City:** Wilmington, North-Carolina
**Occupation:** Singer/songwriter
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Ecstatic, Sharp-witted, Melodramatic
**Why do you think you got picked for The Mad House?**
I think that must be because of my flair, I’m a bit extra I admit that. There is nothing wrong with that! Not to mention, my music rocks baby! Free entertainer right here,

**What do you think will be the most difficult part of living in The Mad House?**
That would probably be keeping my big mouth shut when the timing is off. I tend to get involved in arguments that don’t even involve me, getting me in trouble. Ironic with a name like mine riiiiight? I really should know better. I just want peeps to get along but in order to do so – I get rather vocal myself.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
Heck yeah I do! I’d rather keep it to myself though, y’know? It’s not tactical to reveal all of my tricks just yet. But alright… I can say is that I think it’s crucial to form an exquisite alliance. Keep it as lowkey as possible. Aka I shouldn’t lead it; my big mouth will ruin it for sure. I’d probably be the silent power, encouraging others mostly. I’m okay with that, and tactically speaking it’s a smart move. And… I’ll do what it takes to win. I need the money and fame.

**What is one thing that you want the other contestants to know about you and one thing that you want to hide? Why?**
They need to know how rock is the best music genre ever to be honest! It’s always the same old sh\*t on the radio. Get that NEW vibe yo. I want to show ‘em who JAY TRUBEL is. And demonstrate how being different should never hold you back. And erm, they don’t need to know my real name - I mean, real name... what? Haha.
**What are three things you would take into the house with you and why?**
My guitar, a family picture and my special conditioner.
**What are some of your favorite activities?**
Playing guitar, writing songs, sunbathing and honestly: reading juicy gossip magazines. I have a weakness for gossip… I know, I want people to get along yet I like that TOXIC stuff. It’s a guilty pleasure I’m trying to get rid of but…. IT’S SO TASTY.
**What do you think of drama?**
Drama? We all need to get along! If everyone would just sit around a campfire enjoying one of my light-hearted songs everyone will forget about drama! But yeah, if there HAPPENS to be drama, that I CAN’T seem to settle since it’s impossible for me to solve, or I don’t want to solve, then yeah, ehm, I guess I will, hm, try to stop it? From a distance. Maybe.

**Would you be in a showmance?**
I… I would actually. I mean it’s not like I’m seeing anyone at the moment. If it happens it happens. If it happens… it happens.

**What are some fun facts about you?**\*This hair is ‘puur natuur’ aka purely natural. Some guys are simply born with fabulous locks like mine.
* When I am inspired to write a song I retreat to a quiet place. I hate being disturbed so hope that peeps respect that
* Sometimes I curse in Dutch. At least it doesn’t sound as bad on TV, heh…
* I wear lipstick because why wouldn’t I? Answer that first.

**Finish this sentence: My life’s motto is…** be what you want to be, not what others want to see.
