Jforte, born in Florida and raised in Arizona and Georgia, now calls San Pedro home. His artist name, inspired by simplicity like J. Cole’s, combines his first initial and last name. Jforte’s journey in music began in 2016, hustling on the streets of New York with a boombox and a microphone. Today, he shares stages with hip-hop legends like Talib Kweli and Rakim.
His latest track, “Big Funk,” is a fusion of pop, funk, soul, rock, and rap, perfect for the sunny days of spring and summer. Available on all platforms, “Big Funk” promises to be the soundtrack to your season.
Jforte’s style is dynamic, from donning a Power Ranger suit on stage to rocking a 90’s Bboy flow. His music, influenced by artists like Eminem, Anderson Paak, and Kid Cudi, transcends genres, blending rock, lofi rap, pop, punk rock, and funk.
As an independent artist, Jforte writes all his music, collaborating with producers to create his sound. He’s released over 150 songs and four albums, with early tracks holding a special place in his heart. Beyond music, he’s an analog astronaut and entrepreneur, aiming to inspire six billion people and perform at 20 shows and five festivals in 2024.
Jforte’s advice? “Start with what you have and keep going.” With new music dropping almost weekly, there’s always something fresh to look forward to from this versatile artist.
