J - $tinga

Shakespeare once asked the question, “What’s in a name?” for a name is only a title. “J-$tinga” is one of the many titles this individual goes by; however it does not define him. He remains just as talented under any name he answers to. Producer J-$tinga, has much to offer the world of music, and intends to do so with each project he is a part of.
J-$tinga has surrounded himself with music, which has become his life. With experience as an ‘on-air’ DJ and music director for KCRH radio, assistant producer for Energy 92.7, and 6 years of beat production, Stinga is an asset to any music team, and has only begun to master his sound.
Current projects include the “re:Mix-Tape” featuring a select squad of west coast artists, and showcasing beats form J-$tinga, Musical Mercenaries and more. In addition to the mix tape, Stinga is working closely with team member – and his featured artist – Brian Einstein to complete the album titled “Like My Last”. The two have a completed demo of the album titled “The Bright Idea” available on i-Tunes now.
The Journey began as a recent high school grad with a computer, Fruity-Loops software, and a thirst for good music. After months in front of a computer screen creating beat after beat, Stinga found himself co-managing a mix tape project with variety of bay area artists. The mix tape was recorded in popular bay area studio “The Grill”, which has housed many music artist ranging from George Clinton, De la Soul, and Outcast, to the late Mac Dre, The Federation, and Too $hort.
J-$tinga’s love for music has placed him behind this scenes, instruments, and desk equipment, to in front of artists, managers, and even crowds while on stage as a hype man. With many names, J-$tinga as many musical talents, but is only defined by the legacy he intends to build ahead of him.
