J. Castell a rapper/producer originally from Central America, El Salvador but has been living in Adelaide, Australia for 16 years now. The type of music that he writes, produces and perform is Hip Hop, RnB and Reggaeton with a Latin influence both in the music and vocal delivery, as it is sometimes noticed in some of the lyrics where a combination of English and Spanish has been used.
The lyrics are mainly related to the way of life in Adelaide/Australia and his interpretation of Hip-Hop. Themes range from fun outgoing to conscience lyricism and straight witty word play. The music allows him to transcend many of the intentions spoken in the lyrics. As mentioned before he produces all of his music and writes all of his lyrics. The music is up-tempo beats, R&B to raw Hip-Hop and Reggaeton tracks but always having an original taste embedded. The sounds are original laced with a funky bounce and witty experimental techniques that is ready to be experienced by others.
J. Castell has garnered for himself a respectable following with the release of " Broken Down To Beats " which helped to solidify J. Castell and Adelaide's position as major influences in the Australian Urban Music scene. 2005 saw the release of his first video, which got some airplay on RAGE for 1 straight month and also got added on to Channel V’s video library. He’s second video for the song “UsayWeSay†(a Reggaeton track) had its massive launch on the 4th of August 2006 at The Hyatt, Adelaide that was the foundation for the successful and still running Miami Nights.
2006 was a big year with countless interviews, radio and video play, award nominations (MucicOZ top 5 video finalist for “Club Nightâ€, a finalist in the 2006 SA Short Screen Awards and also a finalist in the St. Kilda film festival) and “UsayWeSay†got picked up by Hard Wax, a sub division of Central Station, to be featured on Carl Alley “Soul Control†compilation. 2008 looks to be a bigger year, which will see the release of the yet untitled, follow up CD, stay tuned.
