EJay Day, born on September 13, 1981, is an American singer and songwriter. He gained recognition as a contestant on the first season of American Idol, where he placed tenth.

Although he made it to the top ten, he became the first finalist in American Idol history to be eliminated from the competition. Before appearing on American Idol, Day contributed to the song 'Pure Love' for Raven-Symoné's album Undeniable and reached the top 20 on Popstars: USA. He also participated in the 2002 American Idols LIVE! tour and performed at various charity events.
