Jah Born

Jah Born is a 2x Grammy Award-winning producer, artist, educator, and MPC specialist from Dallas, Texas. Best known for his work with Erykah Badu, including the classic “On & On,” Jah Born brings decades of musicianship, sample culture, and live-performance experience into a sound rooted in soulful lo-fi, boom bap, jazz, and warm instrumental hip-hop. His music carries the feel of dusty records, late-night studio sessions, smooth keys, chopped drums, and the kind of pocket that comes from years of building with artists, bands, and machines. As a member of The Cannabinoids, Jah Born has performed with Erykah Badu on major stages in the U.S., Canada, and Japan, while continuing to release his own music and build community through The Sample Flip Community, SMPL FLIP SZN, and The Lo-Fi God radio show. Whether behind the MPC, curating records, mentoring producers, or crafting new releases, Jah Born keeps the focus on feel, craft, and timeless music.
