J. Cobb

The Detroit streets have birthed a number of dynamic legendary artists from Jazz to Blues to Hip-Hop. Motor City native J. Cobb is geared to be added to the roster, as the emerging rap star brings his diverse musical background to everything he creates. Classically trained on the piano, J. was always intrigued by not only classical music, but the sounds of Motown and bridging the gap between his playing music and writing lyrics. His environment also nurtured him greatly. "Growing up in Detroit is what truly made me who I am: humble, hardworking, fearless, and driven," he says. "It's interesting though because I've always felt I existed between these two polar-opposite universes and this really started as a child growing up in Detroit, but attending a private school in a suburb outside the city." J. Cobb brings his truth to his music with no holds barred. "My personal goal is to create the best music I can," he says of his personal ethos. Each project is a reflection of that.
