J-WORKJ-Work is a 26 year old artist from Cleveland, OH. He started writing music at 13 and recorded his first song in a bathroom. His humble beginnings consisted of making music on a laptop that was half the size of a school textbook, with a rock band microphone looped over a clothes hanger in his closet. He has come a long way since then... his very first release was a feature for Chris Black's “Against All Odds” album called "City Lights" with Tre Smith in 2013. Dropping a barrage of mixtapes on SoundCloud from there, such as “L.I.F.E.” and the “Grown Folk Music” series, he began creating a catalog for himself.
Since then, J-Work has leveled up his game, meeting more producers and perfecting his craft. With the help of accredited engineer Killah Kalam, he really honed in and found his sound. Most recently, he released a single called "Bands All Up" with WavyDuder, Killah Kalam and Tre Smith. He also teamed up with Browns RB Kareem Hunt and Cleveland-bred rockstar Young Cap for a popular song called "Summertime". He has performed all over Ohio and actively competes in contests, including a handful of Nerve DJ's open-mic contests that sent him to SXSW in 2015. He also won a Coast 2 Coast Live competition in October of 2017, which sent him to perform in Miami in 2018. As an artist, his goal is to influence in a positive way. “By no means are we perfect, but we can make a difference” - J-Work For all inquiries on bookings, features, brand activations etc. please reach out through the link below.
