Jai Yunae

Biography Jai Yunae finds her roots in her current home, Los Angeles, California although she lived in Arizona for many years of her life. A former world and national champion professional BMX cyclist, Jai found herself lost in life after she retired from competition in 2005. For a few years she dabbled in various pursuits in hopes of finding something that would bring her the amount of joy that cycling had done. Upon realizing that life would have to go on, Jai enrolled in nursing school to secure a stable career for her future. However, it seems that the powers that be had other ideas. Working full time while in an intense nursing program took its toll and one fateful day during finals week, Jai drifted off to sleep while riding her motorcycle home from school. Jai was badly injured and could not continue on with the nursing program. But fate knew best. She had to return to Arizona to stay with a family member and began soul searching again. She asked herself, "What have I always wanted to do but have never done?" And the rest, as they say, is history. Jai is a versatile film, television, and commercial actress. She has appeared in recent Motorola and Google campaigns, as well as television shows such as Better Things on FX. When she isn't watching films or her favorite TV shows, Jai also finds her heart in music. J.Yun, as her music fans know her, is set to release an EP called Forgotten Child in late 2020.
