R&B/Pop artist J-Reed, (Jeremy Reed) was born on March 27th 1982 in Yonkers, NY. Growing up in middle class suburbs with his parents and two older brothers, he was raised in a problem free environment. Following in the steps of his older brother SteffNasty J-Reed discovered his love for singing at the age 9 years old, while always watching his older brother record music and sing. In 1993, the two brothers started an R&B group along with two of their child hood friends. They named themselves Reality. Performing and winning 1st place at local talent shows earned J-reed a reputation as an entertainer, as well as getting his first shot in the studio having his background vocals recorded for teenage rapper A+ in 1994.In 1996, singing in Reality only gained J-Reed unwanted success as plenty of offers were turned down by the young and talented J-Reed to establish his loyalty for Reality.
Then in 1999 after 6 years of singing with his group, Reality broke up. 16 years of age J-Reed's smooth and powerful voice, which gained him popularity as the lead singer in Reality was soon fading because of his hitting puberty and discouraged J-reed with music. Entering P.S.R.C High School for the performing arts, J-Reed discovered a new love for writing songs and became very active in the gospel choir and regained his passion for entertaining. Going on tours with his schools gospel choir gave J-Reed the opportunity to perform for Pope John Paul at the Vatican. The year 2000 J-reed was now serious about the career route he wanted to pursue. Turning to big brother/music producer for BEAT BANGGAHZ Entertainment, SteffNasty, J-Reed was now an "artist" and adding on as one of the hottest fresh new entertainers in the R&B/Pop industry.Have you performed in front of an audience?Actually I like to do open mic spots in the city so you may actually catch me at the "Soul Cafe" or The "Village Underground" every now and then.
