About Me

Imagine if you will the clarity and smooth resonance of Brian McKnight combined with the street edge and vocal dynamics of DAngelo, all in one. This is J.V. Singing since the age of 5, J.V. has become one of the most sought after unsigned vocalist/producers in the Midwest. Getting his start with his grandmother in the church, he soon honed in on what would later become his purpose in life. Realizing his potential, he has written for, and performed with international artists all over the world.In the midst of his latest collaborations, and performances, J.V. has had the pleasure of working with , and performing for the likes of Kanye West, D'Angelo, The Legendary Roots Crew, KRS-1, Common, Eric Benet, John Legend, Jill Scott, Chantay Savage, Bump J., Rhymefest, Malik Yusef, Doug E. Fresh, Lil Vicious, Miri Ben Ari, Rakim, Marsha Ambrosius formerly of Floetry, De La Soul, and many others. J. V. has enjoyed the privilege and great success of being featured on "Wouldnt You Like To Ride", a song with Common, Malik Yusef, and Kanye West, which happens to have been featured on the soundtrack for the motion picture, Coach Carter. Simply put, J. V. represents the true essence of what real Soul Music once was.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
