“A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.” – Chinese Proverb
Growing up in a time where no one cared about anything but material status and popularity, JT never had much to cling on to. His family, consisting of his mother and two sisters Amanda and Erica were all he really had, and his father was never around. Money was an extremely limited thing for him growing up. Being an outcast in a rich society because he wasn’t loaded with cash, friends weren’t something with his every day life. Instead of friends, he clung onto something else more deep; music. From the ages of 12 to 14, he would let music influence his every day life style.
The moment he head his first Insane Clown Posse CD, “Tunnel of Love”, he was an instant fan of the Wicked Clowns, or other wise known as a “Juggalo”. He was so into their music, he adopted their language, their clothing style, even the way they treated people on the records. Unbeknown to him, the way they acted on the record obviously was not the way they acted in real life. He started to shut out any form of leadership or friendship that came his way. If you weren’t a listener of ICP, you might as well didn’t exist to him. He let the music over run his life. One day, he even beat his sister to a pulp because she had insulted one of their songs. After that incident, it was then he realized music held a special place in his heart, but he should look outside of the Posse’s world to see if what they spoke about the world was true and if he wasn’t acting the way he should.
On his venture, he started listening to everything from Limp Bizkit to 112, Slipknot to Barry White. He also was starting becoming more social with peers, trying to fit into a world that once exiled him for his choices in clothing and his over all life style. In his endeavors to become a better person, it led him to a place called “The Avenue”. It was a church ran organization whose goal was to help kids become more involved in church. The Avenue had a dance floor inside their building that they had set up to be a small club. At one point, they lost their DJ at the time and were desperate to find another. JT had been going to The Avenue for about 6 months at the time and had become friends with a lot of the people who ran the organization, and volunteered to do the DJ’ing for the night. On that night, “Jey-Row” was born.
During his time at The Avenue, Jey preformed every Saturday for 300 people for two years, has headlined over 12 shows and has made three albums to date. His earlier recordings were material better known from his ICP days, aggressive, hard core, and challenging a society full of hypocrites and bigots. Now, his music has taken a turn. “My goal these days are to push your buttons,” Jey says. “I want you to listen to one of my songs, be totally offended, but want to rewind the song because what I just said was the truth.” Most people get confused with his mission as if he his chauvinistic and egotistical. “I diss all types of people,” Jey says, “But never because of their sex or race. I don’t diss people because I feel as if I’m better than them. I diss them because of their habits. If you want to act any certain way, I feel as if your actions are aloud to be judged because you chose to portray yourself in that manner.”
Recently, on October 24th 2006, his older sister Amanda was killed in a car accident. She was always a leader figure in his father’s absence, and now a huge piece of him and his family is gone. But that hasn’t slowed him down in his endeavor to become a figurehead in the music industry. “Normally, a death as this in a family would destroy someone’s drive to become something great,” Jey says. “But my sister was one of my biggest supporters. She never missed on of my shows, no matter what. So if I stopped I would be doing her an amazing injustice to her memory. And if anything, ever since she died my music has been launched in ways they hadn’t before. So I like to think she’s up in heaven helping me out now.”
Jey is currently working in his fourth studio album, “Cerebral Assassin”, and hopes to get his foot in the music industry door helping as many people as he can. “Yes, I do diss people, yes, I do act a fool, but I do it so you can see the wrong in your ways. I’m on a mission to the top, and I want everyone to grab onto my coat tails and come with me.”
