0

Orkestra Ent. releases west coast artist Jon Black‘s new mixtape for the holidays. “I Am Jon Black” features songs over popular instrumentals, as well as top notch production from himself. Look out for the debut album set to be released 1st Quarter of 2012.

An MC with witty lyrics, a wide range of sonically astounding rhyme patterns and a passion for creating music that will be enjoyed by mainstream rap fans, and hip-hop purists alike. Jon Black became versed in music from listening to his motherメs oldies tapes, featuring artists like The Stylistics, The Delphonics and many more. As a child he transferred between Sacramento CA, and San Diego CA, which led to his exposure to many different styles of music. As he got older he began to delve into Rap and R&B. While an avid fan of many genres, Jon Black didnメt begin writing or producing any music until the age of 16.

At 16 he returned to San Diego, more specifically the gang-infested streets of モSoutheast Daygo.ヤ Growing up in モThe Southeastヤ exposed him to a much grittier side of life than he had previously known and the lessons it has taught him can be heard throughout his music. It was during this time Jon Black began to get more deeply involved in MCメing and production, and crafted his rhymes after what he considers some of the best names in Rap, artists such as DJ Quik, 2Pac, Dr, Dre and Mac Dre among others.

In addition to rap, Black, dabbled in Turntables, spoken word poetry, and instruments such as the guitar and the saxophone. Not allowing himself to be limited, Jon Black sought an understanding of music as a whole and longed to venture into an even more モeclecticヤ palate of sound. After locking himself in the lab with nothing but sticky green, vinyl records and Red Bull, Jon Black is more focused than ever and ready to take the industry by storm. He also performed at the 2011 SXSW in Austin, TX. On November 8th 2011, Jon Black signed with Orkestra Entertainment.
