"I started out as a musician, learning guitar, piano, and various string/brass instruments in school, church, and camp. I went to a magnet school for High school that specialized in the arts. I was able to study piano as a "major". From there, I went to college (at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro) to study piano performance.
During my time at UNCG, I got more into music creation, but this time on the technical side of the things. Daily I would chill with my homies (at the time) creating (simple) beats for us all to freestyle too. A few of my friends kept saying "you blanked on the beat". I was so confused at the time since I didnt know the slang. That's when I really became "J Blanked", well it was "J Blanked On This Beat".
Three semesters in, I realized piano performance was not for me. I dropped out and immediately applied to Full Sail University to get my Bachelors in music production!! At Full Sail, I learned the ins-and-outs of the music business, including recording, composing, marketing, licensing, and branding. That was also around the time when I was posting daily on Instagram and Youtube. That's really what helped me take off the most; being consistent and constantly creating.
After graduation, I started working with a lot more artists locally and reached out to local studios for engineering jobs! That's when I recorded my hit single and improved my ear for audio engineering.
I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with Dreamville, EPMD, MCG Empire, Universal Music Group, and many more!!
Fast forward to today, I have worked with 10,000+ artists worldwide and will continue to push myself as an Artist and Record Producer."
