Please introduce yourself real quick. Tell our audience about your background and how you go into doing what you´re doing right now.
J Tizzle(Jeffery Townsend Sr.) I was born in South Bend, In. This is where I live and produce my music. I began producing music in 2004 and over the years I compiled a variety of music. This has lead me to present my music to the world. Born in the Midwest caught between East coast, West coast and the South sound. The three coast influenced my love for many different genres of music. Music has been a love of mine since the first time I played my parent's records on my Snoopy record player, I was hooked every since then. I'm focused on producing great music and growing as a producer.
Please tell our audience what projects have you been working on in the last years?
With four releases under my belt, debut album "Cosmic Journey" (2014), EP "The Chill Zone Vol 1" (2015), EP "Transition" (2016) and EP "The Chill Zone Vol 2" (2017). I have a wide range of music I enjoy so this gives me a fusion style when I produce. My music releases are mostly Electronic music based with sub genres fused in. I have an eclectic and exotic musical style. I like to think of it as Hip-Hop inspired World Fusion, but that does not cover it completely either. I'm well versed in Trance/Ambient and even pull in Classical elements and themes in my production. Well worth a listening to, if you have not had the chance to experience something new. You can currently find all of my releases on major online store platforms.
What are you currently working on? Do you accept clients and and what kind of projects/work fits your profile?
Along with co-production with Chris Noxx and OriJin Beatz. I have some great projects lined up in the future as well. New music is on the way for 2018. I plan on this being a great year for my career. I'm currently working with other producers for collabs and artist who need beats. I produce Hip Hop, Trap, RnB, Soul, Electronic and a few more. If your a artist who needs HQ beats let's work. My fellow producers I like to collab as well. My music I produce is awesome for Licensing for TV, YouTube, Film, Commercials etc.
