I was born in South Africa, Cape Town and moved to Australia in 1984. I grew up in Lynwood. I am 26 years old and started loving rap when my brother introduced me to N.W.A. Ever since I heard their album I loved rap, especially gangsta rap. I got a mic and a mixer and started freestyling over instrumentals while recording it on to cassette tapes.
That's how JEX was born.
I started rapping in clubs and helping DJ ASWON doing shows around Perth. I then hooked up with my friends' cousin, Herman Carrasco who is the mastermind behind the tracks, running DA CRIB RECORDING STUDIO outta Hami Hill. It's there I made an album called ..I'm wondering' and a video clip filmed by my homeboy Patriot & Co. I finally got offered the MC job at Varga Lounge alongside DJ Birdie, and that is where I MC'd for 4 years. He is now my mentor and teaching me alot about the industry. I am now at Ruby Room every sunday night alongside DJ Birdie as his MC. AFTERMATH ARTISTS & PRODUCER @ MYSPACE
