We will be Featuring the one and only J-Wonn and so many many more great artists (see flyer)

Jawonn Smith, better known by his stage name J-Wonn, is a soul singer that hails from Jackson, MS and has built a name for himself following the release of his hit single “I Got This Record”. His love of Blues came from growing up around his mother and grandmother, who would often sing around the house.

At the age of 13, J-Wonn began writing music of his own and went on to write for many Blues and Soul singers. One of his proudest writing credits came from penning a track for the legendary soul artist Lenny Williams.

During high school, he was a member of a hip hop group that also included elements of R&B. The group gained an artist development deal and it helped Smith to learn a lot about navigating the music industry. It also gave him an opportunity to grow as an artist.
J-Wonn’s latest single entitled “Move On” is available on all digital & video platforms.
J-Wonn followed up “I Got This Record” with several other hits that were in continuous rotation on Southern Soul radio stations across the Southeast region. He has also won several awards from various outlets including Best Entertainer, Artist Of The Year, and Best New Single.

He finished working on his second full-length album “The Legacy” which had led to collaborations with a wide range of different artists and an expansion of his brand of J-Wonn’s world to new ears.

His latest single entitled “Move On” is doing great. J-Wonn also released the video on his website. J-Wonn is moving up in the music world 1 fan at a time, 1 city at a time.
