J Smooth is a Producer/Musician/Writer/Artist from Illinois. Growing up listening to pretty much any and everything that his ears had the opportunity to soak up, caused his diverse taste in music. He was never one to segregate and label different genres. He was more so seeing the movements associated, and the axis point that ultimately defined it as MUSIC! Keeping this state of mind allowed him to be very open to possibilities unimaginable. He started off playing the Saxophone as a child, and played in numerous bands ranging from Jazz to Symphonic. J Smooth also grew up writing a lot, whether it was an English paper or poetry, he was constantly brushing up on writing techniques. Some of the main types of music that you would find him listening to were Hip-Hop/Rap, R&B, Jazz, Reggaeton, and Rock just to name a few. All of this and much more caused his itch to become a producer. He says, "When I’m creating music, I’m doing it because it’s my passion and peak of happiness. Music is my form of a diary!" J Smooth eventually started to notice the huge gap in the way he translated and interpreted music compared to others. When he listens to music he's actually watching it, and when he plays notes/sounds, he's painting pictures. J Smooth has always been an over achiever. He went to college for Music Business Management/Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management. Graduating one year earlier than expected graduation date really showed his hard work and persistence as he went to school non-stop. While attending college, he met lots of artists, but one in particular has been the main artist he's worked with, as this artist by the name of "Trudell" showed courage in not being afraid to try something fresh, and completely different than what every other artist was doing. J Smooth is that breath of fresh air that people ultimately want to hear and work with, but at the same time are scared to take that risk in this day and age. He's always open to working with new talent, and wants to collaborate as much as possible, as this is one of the main great beauties behind music. J Smooth has always taken his production very seriously, and labels each piece as artwork, rather than your stereotypical "beat". He works very hard, and states that, "When you hear my production for an artist, you hear that artist interpreted through me. You're hearing what happens when artists take a trip to my planet and perform there." J Smooth has always been intrigued by the mysteries behind planet mars, and describes his whole production movement as M.A.R.S. (Music As Reality Strays). He's never been a stranger to the limelight, as he has written hooks, featured on songs, and also come up with entire concepts. After others started hearing the talents of J Smooth pushed beyond straight production, he was noticing the trend of listeners urging him to also become an artist. He didn't really take it to heart at first, but then started to take the whole idea into consideration. After receiving this itch, he has now decided to give it a scratch, as you'll hear with a couple of songs produced and recorded by himself. He explains, "You've seen others visit my musical thoughts and let loose, now imagine if I perform by myself, strictly through my own thoughts.................I'm already home!"
