The artist known as J-CLX is no stranger when it comes to catchy hooks, heartfelt lyrics and high energy performances. He began his career as a hip hop artist in 2003 and thats when his passion was born and fused into a sound that can only be labelled as truely unique. Though in the early stages of his career, in 2004 he was awarded a VideoFact grant for his club hit single “Hands Up”, which recieved regular rotation on MuchVibe. However around this time J-CLX was at a crossroads. His video was gaining great exposure, his songs were being played on popular local radio stations such as, 89.5 FM and 88.1 FM. Yet he was faced with a life changing decision, he realized that the music he was making promoted negativity and was filled with coarse language and that he couldn't live his life like this any longer. He scrapped his entire album and stopped promoting his music in order to pursue a true relationship with Jesus Christ and bring a positive message for a dying generation. In 2006 he was back in the studio with a brand new sound, ready to unleash his passion and his story of encouragement into the hearts of youth eveywhere. With out the help of his former manager/producer Jermaine James, J-CLX has found himself co-producing his own songs. In 2008 he was off to a fresh start with the support of Riot radio, J-CLX could often be heard in the halls of Durham College. This is also where he was featured as February's 2008 artist of the month and was awarded first place for the 2008 Songs Revealed Songwriting Contest which made him the very first hip hop artist to ever to win. J-CLX has already begun to go intertnational with his acceptantce on to the 2008 Extreme Tour this summer and with this move has gained exposure along the east coast of the U.S. He has also been recently declared as The 2008 UK Songwriting winner for the urban category. With his award for Best Hip Hop Artist @ the 2008 Ontario Independent Music Awards it is evident that by depending on the strength of Jesus Christ, J-CLX is an artist who continues to grow more and more with each day.
