Release Notes:
Take the hip-hop stylings of Jay Z, Biggie and Tupac, add the
goth-tinged rock of Evanescence and finish off with the rapcore,
nu-metal cry of Linkin Park and you'll begin to get near the fresh
and powerful new sound of Seminole County.
Jj and Bryon J are the young wizards behind the words, music,
production and performance of Seminole County, formed only two
years ago in the south Florida county where the band gets its
name. Jj was just a high school kid, competitive as hell, playing
football with her brothers, when Byron found himself almost
homeless and Jj's family took him in. In his new little sister,
the fledgling record producer spied a protΘgΘ, felt a chemistry,
and before they both knew it they were creating the kind of next
generation hip-hop only they could make.
All they needed was industry guidance. Sure enough, a music
executive landed in their hometown of Orlando, saw them take the
roof off a public performance, and began to groom them for the
stardom he knew was rightly theirs. Soon Jj and Byron J started
mixing with some pretty impressive company. Jj was invited to
perform at an event hosted by Bill Clinton and the Crown Prince of
Dubai. As Seminole County, the two performed at Hawaii's ProBowl
NFL Experience. Their talents were then requested by the
Children's Charities of the European World when they were asked to
work alongside legendary musicians Ronnie Wood of The Stones and
Kenney Jones of The Who & Rod Stewart to create a hip-hop remix of
a song called It's All About the Children. A collaboration with
Oksana, the famed Russian pianist, followed, as the three wrote
the song Just Don't Say A Word, which became a huge success in
Europe.
Not yet in their mid-twenties, Jj and Byron J are packing the
experience and musicality of artists twice their age, creating
hip-hop that's accessible without sacrificing the dark undertones
of the streets from which the genre first arose - and
incorporating just the right measure of rock to shake things up.
And all of it is delivered with an irresistible pop allure that
makes believers out of hip-hop skeptics. This means the kinds of
demographics that stretch from junior high tastemakers to seniors
in the know. Through her website alone, Jj has amassed a fan base
of tens of thousands of people worldwide. With numbers like these,
and the talent they're delivering, there's no question Seminole
County is knocking on breakthrough's door.
