Hailing from the cityscapes of NYC’s Brooklyn Borough, and currently residing in Florida’s West Palm Beach area, Hip Hop/R&B Recording Artist, J.I.A. began hitting the ground running with his dynamic writing style and witty rhyming techniques since 2005, and has manifested into a very eclectic and recognizable name among his scene. He’s a renowned Independent CEO & Producer/Artist that writes, mixes, and masters his own music. He also creates the cover art for all of his releases, embracing the creative process entirely on his own.

J.I.A. began honing his craft and artistic merit in 2006 with two other Brooklyn Rappers at the time, Checkmate and Synical. And shortly after the group formed, the trio hit the studio to record The Lost Sessions Vol. 1. However, the trio went their separate ways due to conflict and irreconcilable differences, which set the path for J.I.A. to utilize his experiences from recording/performing with the other two rappers, and subsequently allow him to take on music as a passionate solo career.
