J’Sun, well aware of the fact that becoming a successful solo
artist is a difficult journey said, “I just think every day is a challenge…with
this career choice everything is a challenge even if you are successful.” He
stresses that he must “… find that thing to make [him] different and stand
out.” This young aspiring artist surely has the heart and dedication to
make a name for himself.
As a result of his mother’s young age, J’Sun was raised by his
grandparents for the majority of his childhood and says that his grandmother
played a key role in his motivation toward success. J’Sun has infinite respect
for his grandmother saying, “… she raised me and I love how they [his
grandparents] weren’t rich but they were able to raise their children and
grandchildren as great kids… She kept us all together and kept us in check.”
J’Sun is constantly active and creative outside of his music
J’Sun spends time biking, roller blading, cooking, furniture building,
painting, and even fashion designing. “I’m a crazy individual; don’t be fooled
by what you see.”
Creativity flows even more easily as he opens his ears and mind
to a broad spectrum of music genres in his own listening habits. From rock and reggae to even opera, J’Sun
listens to it all however points out Lana del Rey and One Republic as some of
his favorites in the moment. Without music, J’Sun admits he wouldn’t know
where he’d be and describes how his friends and family are most important to
him since they are the ones that support him unconditionally.
Finally, this year, J’Sun got a taste of what it would be like
to be on national television when he was invited to audition for the fourth
season of NBC’s “The Voice”. Although he never really wanted to join in a
singing competition, he flew out to Los Angeles, auditioned, and was selected
by Colombian superstar Shakira, “she broke me out of my shell with her song
choice,” he says and although he didn’t make it further than the battle rounds
the experience was promising, helping him gain a larger fan base.
J’Sun’s original song, “Impossible” which he holds closely is something
he is surely proud of. “The song started from being at home playing the
guitar….’Impossible’ was the only word that kept coming out,” J’Sun says,
“I feel like anyone can relate to the song in any situation. It’s more of an
inspirational song.”
What started off as a hobby has now become a way of life, “now
that I take signing more serious, I make sure I’m healthy and drink tea and
water before singing every song,” he says. He goes on to say, that in preparing
for a performance, “It’s constant; you have to be ready to perform at all
times.”
J’Sun’s fans who he calls his Limerz, have much to look forward
to in the coming months. He has an EP in
the works along with photo shoots and more music videos meaning more and more
of J’Sun. And to all of the Limerz out
there he says, “thank you for sticking with me…It’s like having a team behind
you working. They make me want to post more. I love them a lot…” Look out for
more music from J’Sun in the coming months and check out the impressive video
for his single “Impossible.”
