J.Most's Bio:
Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI where his roots run deep, J.MOST currently calls Twin Cities, MN (Minneapolis/St.Paul) his second home. His inspiration and love of singing and performing came as a youth, watching his dad sing and perform. “I’ll put my dad on the stage with any of the greatest singers in the world and he’ll carry his own and then some! He simply has on of the greatest sounding voices in the world.”
Besides his dad, the artists that made the most impact on J.MOST’s desire to sing and perform where Luther Vandross, James Ingram and Queen Latifah. Growing up listening to R&B moguls such as Ella Fitzgerald; Earth Wind & Fire; Parlament/Funkadelic; Stevie Wonder and Barry White, J.MOST created the foundation of his sound. Ultimately, J.MOST’s confidence was influenced and heightened by the late, great Mr. Gerald Levert. “The power of Gerald’s performances and the way he conveyed his lyrics was truly amazing.”
Singing and performing often as a teen, J.MOST always wanted to record but never got serious about it. Something happened in 2005 O.T. a close friend of J.MOST , introduced him to a talented up and coming track man from Compton- KY Woods. After hearing a few of his tracks J.MOST knew it was time! Although he was armed with close to 100 songs stored in his private music library, he challenged himself to write fresh lyrics to each track for his debut album. (Due Jan. 2007)
J.MOST’s hit single “Ready to do This”, was written in seven days after receiving the track from KY. The single was released underground as a test pilot in Milwaukee and the Twin Cities in October 2006. Thousands of the single were sold and over 15 clubs and well-known DJ’s are currently playing the single in regular rotation.
