As a singer/songwriter spending countless hours in the studio, jM has also developed a sharp ear and understanding of a good production. He has also written and produced music for local artists in the Massachusetts and Rhode Island area and radio as well. Most recently, he was the writer and frontman of the band, Mars Hill, whose debut cd was produced by Stryper frontman, Michael Sweet. jM is finally striking out on his own, bringing with him his experience in writing and performing.
