Bio
.... Biography Jae Isabel (born June 9, 1982 in Houston, Texas), known as “360º” The American, International self proclaimed rock/rapper/producer/writer and actor... hence the name “360º” knew at the early age of 10 music and entertaining was his calling. By taking advantage of all the musical, and drama classes one could acquire in Elementary, Middle School, and High School, 360º further developed what most claim to be a natural talent to entertain. Music became the main focus of his entertainment regimen when first Cousin John Caldwell a.k.a. Scooby “NoRay Diggs”-who helped produce the Jagged Edge hit single” He Cant Love You” and Brian Michael Cox-Super producer, and Grammy award winner began teaching him how to play the piano, and navigate through complex professional equipment such as the M.P.C (beat Machine) and Roland 1680 at the age of 12 yrs. old. Through frequent visits to Atlanta, 360º was introduced to the professional recording industry when Brian Michael Cox got his first major production deal with Sony/Noontime…”The night I met Johnta Austin, I found out he wrote “Sweet Lady” for Tyreese. Dude was my age 14-15yrs. old, what the @$%!!!”- (360º)....The seed was then planted…”I can do this”-(360º). Over the next 10 yrs. 360 begin to listen to a diversified portfolio of music ranging from Hip-Hop, to Alternative, Pop, Trance, Jungle, House, and Grunge. “Naturally I began to incorporate all of the genre’s of music I was listening to into my music, but it was the Grunge and Hip-hop that blended together the best to my ears.”- (360º)…an image was born. Now, the once little tyke who soaked up the game young stands before the rap game fashionably garnished in rock chains, piercing, tattoos, exaggeratedly distressed Jeans, with an aged Rock T, and the attitude to match “People say I have a ‘Rock Star’ image, but I hate to be stereotyped along with this new ‘Rock Star’ fad that’s in right now. I been dressin’ and livin’ like this since I first heard “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden. I’ll b like this long after this ‘Rock Star’ fad dwindles out of societies conscious. This is me”. Armed with an arsenal of simply complex metaphors, analogies, double-entendres and similes, 360º raps so fluent and gracefully over rock and synth-heavy beats he creates something new, and fresh for listeners…”By riding that thin line between overly conscious and commercial rap, I’ve created a bridge between the rap and hip-hop worlds”-(360º). Giving an aided light to the 360º persona, music production has also played an important role in his character. Therefore, he finds the perfect balance of producing rap, hip-hop, R&B, pop, and alternative tracks amid being an artist to broaden his musical portfolio. 360º currently resides in Houston, TX. And while there he stays passionate about being heard by his city and the rest of the World “When it comes to 360º…what u see is merely a part of what you get. There are so many parts of me that I express through my music that my clothes and a Diamond studded rock chain can’t show you. My advice to anybody that isn’t afraid of change would be…listen, enjoy, and rock da’ %@* on!!!”- (360º) Discography “XPEKTHAUNXPEKTED” (2001) - Mystre’ Vane Entertainment “Family Tied” (2001) - Mystre’ Vane Entertainment “Self Inflicted” (2002) - Space City Recordings “Live Hard...Die Free” (2008) - Space City Recordings ..........
