Jonathan Russell, known to the music industry as J Biz, is an eclectic, high energy, “feel good” musical rhyming talent, who has recorded some of the most incredible show stopping songs for the hip hop genre. Born in Bronx, New York and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, his journey began with a love for writing lyrics that paralleled both his and his friends’ experiences in life. He draws his inspiration from energy and a love for people and the hardships to triumphs we all live. Jonathan was once quoted as stating, “im trying to put out music that not only benefits to my self content but also places joy,emotion and inspiration in the hearts of the listeners."
He has recorded two E.P.s, and his most recent first solo mix tape, G.W.A.V. (Get With A Visionary). From his early start of performing throughout the NJ and NY club & lounge scenes, his success has led him to perform at BET’s 106 & Park live show, the Giant Stadium State Fair, multiple RIX Magazine venues, Wall Stadium, Bam Margera’s Skate Park, and has won him play on multiple NY/NJ local radio stations down to Atlanta (Boss Lady Ent. Show). Backed by a growing domestic and international following both through online sites such as Reverbnation, Twitter,facebook,myspace and the list goes on. He recently was placed on a mix tape released in Belgium (DJ Emiliot). He is the co-owner of L.G.I.T. Ent. (Let’s Get It There Entertainment), both a label and a multi-faceted team of entrepreneurs, artists, and aspiring young individuals working to better not only their future, but also the future of MUSIC. In addition to being an artist, J Biz is also a co-producer of a music and news station, Jerz Up Radio on WWW.HEARNEWBRUNSWICK.COM, which streams worldwide on the internet."I feel successful already because i am fulfilling my goals and aspiring everyday. I am gaining fans and touching people with my music. If i had the money that many are paid for this craft it still couldnt replace those genuine things that i have experienced thru my music." In early 2010, J Biz is planning to organize a tour for his release, and increase the influence of his L.G.I.T. label, to make himself more of a staple in the music world and more effective at opening doors for aspiring individuals.
