JVP Entertainment (The Jaystorm Project), Knoxville, TN
Fronted by Jaystorm – a Tennessee-native and rising favorite Southern bluesy, funk, hip-hop son – his latest musical incarnation as “The Jaystorm Project” The Jaystorm Project serves up a backing band and a booty-shakin' style that accentuates his strong, but yet smooth delivery of slick witty lyrics and bluesy funk sound that is part Motown, part old school hip-hop, with an edge of rock which leaves you with total musical genius.
Raised in a musical family, Jaystorm's earliest exposure to music came through relatives who performed in church, and from a deeply soulful mix of music listened to by his immediate family and peers. Jaystorm was into older hip-hop like RUN-D.M.C., Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and rock radio hits of his youth, but it wasn't until constant hearing & growing up with this eclectic gathering of music did he discover his natural talent for musical performance and later realizing a funky musical destiny awaited him.
From his classic R&B/Bluesy styles, to the old-school hip-hop flavors he adds to a song and the frequent rock and pop covers he tosses in the mix, Jaystorm on disc and especially live in concert definitely has something for everybody.
