About Me


J. Cabrera F A C T S
Name: Jorge Cabrera
Talents: Singer / Songwriter / Music Producer
Musical Style: R&B/Pop
Location: New York City
Label: Curious JC Music
Like a man chasing after and wooing a beautiful woman, J has been pursuing his dream of being a professional recording artist for years with passion, patience and a few great lines.
Singing since kindergarten to the pretty 5 year olds in his class, J decided in 1999 to try his hand at making his passion his living. He answered an ad in New York's Village Voice for a male vocal group, auditioned with a song he had written himself, and was made a member the next day. Being in an upstart boy band did not appeal to him though and within 3 months, J was out. However, during his time with the group, J met producer Angelo "Doc" Velasquez and the two continued writing music together, eventually turning their collaborations into J's songs: I Don't Mind, Don't Break My Heart, and Girl In My Dreams. J next was signed to an independent label, where he spent 2 years on the bench as they moved forward with other artists. Undeterred, J left the label and began booking his own shows and promoting himself anywhere he could.
Performing one night at a NYC bar, J caught the attention of Nemesis Records CEO Kingmin, who immediately approached J about working with the label. With years worth of experience and songs under his belt, J was more than ready to bring his music to a broad audience and had finally found a label that was ready to move with him. Nemesis wasted no time and quickly got J on the radio in NYC and launched a website for the singer so fans could find him.
J built his buzz in the underground and recorded music for his debut EP on Nemesis Records. His single I Don't Mind, got some well deserved airplay radio at major R&B and Hip Hop station WBLS 107.5 and was being requested at other local stations.
A couple of singles that lit up New York commercial radio and then he disappeared back underground popping up under-the-radar only to co-write songs with Kristine Sa for "Hopeless Romantic". The truth is that J actually put his own project on hold in order to help Kristine with hers. Now that's a friend!
In between sessions with Kristine, J laid down some thoughts & emotions that very quickly gelled into full blown songs. Two of those songs are now available as free downloads on his MySpace page. Over expert production by Kadis & Sean (G-Unit) and Dave Liang (The Shanghai Restoration Project, Carl Thomas), J reintroduces himself (to the ladies) on "For You", and details the possible end of a long relationship on "What's It Gonna Take". Back on his own, J just re-teamed with Angelo "Doc" Velasquez , and the incredible Wicz, over at Out The Box, to finish two new singles, "Imagine That" & "Used To Love U". They are hot ones, guaranteed to keep you wanting to hear them again and again. Smooth as ever and with a new sound, J. Cabrera steps out of the background and back into the spotlight where he belongs. Welcome back J!
As Js popularity grows and more people are exposed to his music, no doubt some of those pretty girls from J's kindergarten class will be calling in to request that familiar smooth voice.
