Raised in Harlem, Jxhar grew up listening to the sounds of artists ranging from Gwen Stefani and Adele to Ghostface Killah and Jay Z. At 16 years old, he began his journey into music, acquiring his first set of equipment and being motivated by friends like Darion Harris and Isaiah Raps. Jxhar never focuses on a specific sound, but rather his self-expression and the audience he’s creating for. Being inspired by artists like Kanye West, Andre 3000, and Kid Cudi, Jxhar admires the usage of 808s and bright chord progressions. No matter the message of an artist or the raw sound of their voice, Jxhar focuses on the sonic aspect of music more than anything. His goal is to produce content that listeners can relate to and connect with. Jxhar’s success has been most noticeable with his recent album 2am Fantasy, but, he doesn’t stop there. This past February, Jxhar announced his clothing line, Runaway Roses. Not only do listeners have new music to look forward to, but apparel as well. Jxhar isn’t here to impress anyone, but rather to cause a groundbreaking shift through his art.
