Why this name?

C. JONE$, it's self explanitory.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It helps indie artists like myself make our songs available to the world. It also gives the people that support you easy access to your music and new updates.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Of course... I think that would be a good move because I want my muzik to reach as many people as possible. But I just do it for the love, I'm in no way pressed on getting a record deal.

Band History:

I started off by rapping solo. Then I bounced around from a couple of underground rap groups. At the time, the group that I was in couldn't get any beats or find any good producers. So I kinda took it upon myself to start making beats. My intrest in beat making inspired me to become more involved in production. Which led me to become a music producer. Eventually members in the group that I was in began to have conflict between one another. So that led to the group breaking up. I tried the group and the duo thing after that but it didn't work out. So I decided to become a solo recording artist and it's been on ever since. I realized that I work better alone. Plus I don't have to split my doe with nobody.
