Jay Kay good chance 176.5cm-177.5cm mid-day. 178-179.5cm morning height. Explains his 5'11'' claims.

Looks 171/172cm to me, very surprised by the average guess actually!

175-176?!?! What is wrong with you people? Tom Hardy is taller by at least 4-5cm! Click Here
Its growth is definitely not more than 169-171. Most likely he wears elevator shoes.
Anonim said on 1/Jan/18
His height is 173-174 cm and he wears elevator shoes, thus developing in close to 180cm.

I'm working with him right now and he is definitely taller, I'm 5'9" and he looks taller than me.

check 5:45 onwards, got 1-2 inch on hammond, 5'9 seems fair

Recently?? Here is a picture of him alongside Heidi Klum (listed at 5'9.5"), who is wearing heels. Jay might be having a slight heel to his shoes but not as much as Heidi's were they appear along the same size. Heidi might have an inch, two at most on him but they look pretty similar in height which would make him a true 5'9, perhaps 5'10 with dress shoe heels.

Saw him several times on stage. He's around 5'7" but no more than 5'8".
175 cm is impossible.

Saw him backstage recently at one of his shows (FEB 27, 2013). Did not get too close to him or take a picture but saw on the same level pretty close by, no hat. Looks a solid 5'9, bit wide upper body, good proportions. Strong presence here (Click Here) with Heather Small 5'4, who appears to be wearing heels. Maybe a strong 5'9 at his peak??
Jatzinto said on 15/Dec/12
he is equally 170cm
Frankie said on 24/Oct/12
Probably a strong 5'7 maybe 5'8 - definitely shorter than 5'9 Tom Hardy here (toward bottom of page)
Hardy might have shoe advantage, but hardy seems bigger and has a wider stance going on

Mmm I always had him down as a 5 ft 7 chap. Wasn't he shorter than Denise Va Outen?
juj said on 31/Jul/12
Saw him in London, my heightish and no less, and I'm 5'9, he could have had footwear advantage
Mike S. said on 13/Dec/11
Seems high to me as well, sorta looks 5'4"ish or even less.
Ash said on 18/Oct/11
He's listed as 5'7'' elsewhere.

Seems high to me?

Jay Kay races his expensive cars across the Scottish countryside as a hobby What a guy. and Travelling Without Moving is his best albulm that or Emergency on Planet Earth. He dated Denise Van Outen a British model vj announcer she is 5'9.5''-5'10'' he may have been an inch or two shorter

He looks really small in videos, his body looks like from a teenager.
leonari said on 17/Jan/09
minimum 5'8" and possibly 5'9". 5'10 is outer bull.
Annoyed said on 16/Jan/09
Also im a big Jamiroquai fan so im not trying to downgrade the guy, just saw him and he wasnt taller than me. Definetly not 5'9" though.
Annoyed said on 16/Jan/09
stood next to him a year or two ago on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, to be perfecty honest , and not to add fuel to the fire, but he was 100%, 150% and as certain as the moon orbits the Earth...............NO TALLER THAN ME. and im 171 cm and I am NOT wrong on this. I think 5'8" is the largest possible for this man as I may have not lost all my height as it was early morning on my way to work.
Lmeister said on 6/Jan/09
Was just watching some photos from celeb events and he seemed shorter than 5ft9 maybe 5ft7-5ft8. Compared to legit 5ft10 sportsmen he seems short. I'll send U some pic later.
AirSky said on 4/Dec/07
He looks taller. I thought he was at least 5'10"
Rossco said on 18/Nov/07
I`d say Jay Kay is 170cm looking at the pics with Jodie Kidd whos 6ft 1" and Bernie Ecclestone whos 5ft 2" there is much more of a difference between kidd and Jay Kay than there is between Jay Kay and Bernie Ecclestone! Click Here
Andy said on 13/Nov/07
He didn't seem that tall in one of his music videos. So an aproximate height would be atleast 170 cm tall.
Julie said on 6/Aug/07
I met Jay about two years ago and I'd say he is around 5'8"...maybe 5'9". He has a very slight frame.
MarkyMark said on 26/May/07
I also think that Emilie is much shorter than 166 cm lol I say it again, I have no reasons to lie, but when I saw him he was no more than 172 cm (I'm 178 cm). During a private gig in a night club, I shook his hands, we were on the same ground and I estimated him at 170 cm. He was wearing addidas trainers, and I was wearing converses.

Riddiculous! How could that girl be 5 ft 5.5 in and that guy only around 10 cms taller? Looks 6 ft on the picture, maybe more. Is he wearing lifts and she's barefeet or what? Yeah, maybe he's on a step.
MarkyMark said on 14/Jan/07
Hi, I saw him at several gigs (including two private gigs where i shook his hand ) and I thought he was about 5ft7. I'm 5ft10 (178 cm) and I can affirmed that I was at least taller than 2 inches !! He can't be taller than 172 cm ..
Anonymous said on 17/May/06
he's more like 5'10 because i'm around 5'11 and he was only one inch smaller than me when i met him at the gig they did in dubai, and he was wearing trainers which don't add any height.
Elio said on 23/Apr/06
I'm beginning to think he is taller than expected ( 5'9" ). There's a lot of people who thought/think he is much shorter though. I guess the lesson is, don't wear huge novelty sized hats, as they give the wearer 'Oompah Loompah' proportions.
Glenn said on 23/Apr/06
I heard he was 5-9.
YaoMing said on 22/Apr/06
@Anne: no way he's even shorter than 166cm, i mean he's no giant but to me he always looked average height so 5'9 sounds more realistic.
Horatio said on 19/Mar/06
If he's 5'9", that's taller than I expected. For some reason I imagined him being at 5'6" max, but from those pics he does seem around average height.
susan said on 30/Jan/06
CelebHeights Editor, if that girl is 166 cm Jay Kay must be 6'2'' in that photo.
elio said on 30/Jan/06
Call me sexist, but I've never known a girl to give an accurate height. In my experience they're worse than male celebs for fudging their heights up 2-3".

Just my humble observation.
M.A said on 19/Dec/05
i believe he could be 5 ft 9 i mean photos don't always prove everything. They just say that because his voice could be a bit high -pitched or their just jealous.
bliss said on 15/Nov/05
nnnn.. everyone says that he´s little.. he couldn´t be 5ft9.. should be around 5ft7
Mr. R said on 1/Nov/05
Is he 5'9" with or without his hat? I saw him at a concert a few years ago, and he seemed closer to 5'8".
Dez said on 31/Oct/05
I have to agree with J. Saw Jamiroquai in concert last week. He seems a bit smaller than 5'9". Or maybe he just looks short cos he's so skinny.
J. said on 9/Apr/05
I saw Jamiroquai in concert not too long ago and Jay seemed smaller than 5'9". I'll have to fish around for some pics for evidence.
