Read the Jah Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'll be honest, I've never done anything like this so this is new to me. But, for those who don't know me, my name is Jah. I'm a songwriter/rapper/singer that is a proud New Yorker! I'm based in Brooklyn, New York and I love my hometown. I don't really have a specific genre of music that I create. I rap and I sing, so I can be extremely versatile with the type of music I make. I've always loved music, and I've been involved with it since I was a little kid. If you're interested in my music, follow me on SoundCloud, Twitter and Instagram. <3

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I listen to a lot of different genres of music, which kind of explains why I don't like sticking to one genre in my own music. I like to give a little taste of everything. But in terms of influences, I have a lot so listing them would be a long list, but I'll name them anyway. Two of my influences since I was a little kid are Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson. My family would ask me to do their impressions and I loved their music. But growing up, becoming more independent and doing my own thing, I started to listen to more rap and/or hip hop. I would listen to whatever was on the radio to start, mainstream music. But as I started exploring more on my own, I found more and more inspirations. So my influences now are the same but with new additions.
J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, Frank Ocean, Joyner Lucas, Chance the Rapper, Drake, Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert, NAV, Taylor Bennet, Travis Scott, and The Weeknd. Two more of my influences are two of my brothers, Oak and Dejames. These two influence me and motivate me to do better everyday. So a quick shout out to them.

What´s new right now?
If my fans can help me get a larger following that'll be amazing. I'd love to get my music more out there to more people. If they could all follow me on my social media and SoundCloud that would be amazing.
