From a young age exposure to musical pioneers created interest and curiosity for Jaz. Artists like Andre 3000, Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson, J. Cole, and a variety of Gospel harmonies played a large part in the development of his taste in music. A Battle Creek, MI, native, Jaz looks to create a path for artists from this small town to excel. With politics and personal experience being the contextual foundation of his art, each tune gives you a glimpse of the artist. “How they gone remember me in this life?” Jaz states on his Intro(Life).
Graduating from Western Michigan University with a degree in Sociology, Jaz finds music to be his platform to share social commentary. It’s where melodies meet the mind. With rhymes over drum patterns resembling those that have set the stage for lyrical brilliance, to gliding across alternative, soul-funk beats. Metaphors, similes, homonyms, triple entendres and more! Jaz is as smooth as the name states.
This Afrocentric artist is one to be remembered.
