About Me |
|
| Musically speaking, J Downs' style is like no other. His fresh blend of tight hip-hop lyrics paired with his amazing vocal range would be enough to capture an audience. But that's only the half of it. J's unique style of playing is apparent at his live show, where he performs with just a mic and an acoustic guitar. No backing band, no loops, no effects, just J. He captivates crowds with own style of live "ghettar", a combination of melody and percussion all done by him on his acoustic. The sound created is clear, simple, and intense, complex enough for musical virtuosos yet pure enough for those who simply wish to be entertained. In combination with his original songs, J also hypes the crowd with acoustic renditions of hip-hop songs of today and yesterday, ranging from Warren G to 50 Cent to Soul For Real and everything in between. J spent most of 2006 writing and recording his debut disc entitled All-Division, released in the first quarter of 2007 under his own independent label, 703 Records. Recorded in San Diego, CA, the 11-track disc features J's hip-hop/rock vocal stylings delivered over a live band sound with all instrumentation performed by J. Alongside various collaborations with SD-based rap group Mpire Da Regiment, the disc also features the independently produced music video for "Hit Em Off" which peaked at 10 on Youtube's Top Rated Videos. You can find the album on CDBABY.com, iTunes, and in various record stores throughout southern California. Currently, J is performing shows around the SD and LA areas, recording, and gearing up for a huge year full of shows, promotions, videos, and the summer release of his sophomore effort. "I got nothing more to say. I'll let the music speak for me." J Downs "Step On" from his upcoming 2008 release.
