J. YOUNGIN:
Born in the mountains of western North Carolina in May of
1989, J started off a life with great future possibilities. Always interested in
music no matter what the genre, Youngin' first started recording himself at
the age of 13, writing his own nonsense lyrics (lyrics that at the time would
make sense to a 13 year old) and right away found a passion and love that
would last a lifetime. As teenagers, performing as the group |T.M.S.| J and
two childhood friends made way all over W.N.C doing shows, open mic
nights, and promoting the music that they had earlier recorded together in a
closet at J's mothers house. A natural born leader Youngin' took large steps
for the group booking shows, setting up relationships with D.j.'s, promoters,
and club management in hope of soon to be success. Attracting the attention
of Entertainment Company CEO, Ronnie Dubb in 2008, T.M.S. joined up
with Limelight Entertainment and pushed forward doing numerous shows
all over the southeast. Attracting great attention from some big names in the
industry, J and friends performed shows with names such as Crime Mob, Lil
Wil' and various artists from Soulja Boy's label Sodmg. Now a solo
artist, J. Youngin' still pushes forward with great motivation and ambition
with big success in mind. With an uplifting, positive message, from living
life to the fullest to working hard for anything you dream to achieve, J will
soon prove that with hard work ethic and big dreams, you can achieve
anything you set out to accomplish.
