Jinx

There is a difference between what makes a legend, and an over night success story. Legends are not only creative and multi-talented, but also authentic and innovative. Emcee/Producer, Jinx, is chasing that legendary status. Miami born, and Tampa native, Jinx has had a variety of cultural influences. Jinx recalls growing up in a household filled with the sounds of Buju Banton, Sade, Michael Jackson, Al Green and others. He started to develop his own personal taste for music during the end of what most consider the “Golden Era” of Hip-Hop. Artist such as The Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest, and Wu-Tang Clan started to invade his Walkman during his walks to the school bus stop. In an interview, Jinx said, “Most people are surprised when they see my old cd book with all the Pen & Pexel No-Limit cd covers”. In 2011, Jinx connected with Gwan Massive, a collective of musicians, artists, singers, emcees, and djs. This collaboration has led to several opportunities, introduced a new element to Jinx's art, including live instrumentation. Most would say Jinx’s strongest characteristic, is the ability to fuse what rap purist would call “real hip-hop”, and mainstream radio friendly hits. So whether playing his music in your mp3 player, being captivated by his powerful stage performance, or enjoying his collaboration with other artist, Jinx is definitely an artist you will continuously enjoy!
