I Shaunt Jones a.k.a JReap was born in Pittsburg PA. The third oldest of my parents Harry and Christine Jones I am destined for greatness as been told. My family moved to Jacksonville, FL. when I was a youth. There I was immersed in Jacksonville’s culture, and learned to survive the mean streets of AKA "The Bang'Em". My musical influence was grown through the love for Hip Hop listening to groups and artist such as Outkast, 2Pac, MasterP, DMX, and UGK.
I grew up appreciating music genres such as Reggae, Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz and Country music which paint vivid pictures in your mind as you listen to the music. I love the way these songs tell stories.
What encouraged me to begin writing were the different collaborations like Jay Z and Lincoln Park, The Black Eyed Peas and many other artists who make music for people to internalize and feel the music that’s played? I myself am fusing my love for rap and old school rock to create my own signature style "Hood Rock Swagger". I plan to create music for all different types of music listeners. It’s just the beginning check out my rock swagg.
