Review by: Oliver Springate - MyMusicSuccess.Com

J Swagg is the latest artist to be signed onto the Platinum T Entertainment roster, and is showing a lot of potential to blow big time in the near future, and already has a fan base supporting him from America, Europe and Asia. He was born in the Philippines, has some Spanish Ancestry, and moved to California when he was 12, where he has grown up from there onwards.

This slightly odd mix of cultural influences is said to have rubbed off on J Swagg’s music, bringing together a sound which is similar to many of today’s mainstream hip hop artists, but remains unique. With the sheer number of artists around today, it would be impossible to have a totally unique style, and J Swagg has managed to make sure that the one’s he sounds similar to are the ones who are dropping the big tunes.

He lists his main influences as TI, Jay-Z and Pharrel, and that’s not a bad group to have influencing you when you’re trying to succeed in hip hop, and with his own style thrown into the mix, you’ve got an artist with real potential.

J Swagg is showing the flickers of success that all those who have gone before him had in their early days. In fact, what J Swagg is putting out is probably way ahead of what his predecessors were doing at the same stage in their careers.

With music making a return to the focus on revenues from live shows, J Swagg is also positioning himself perfectly on this front. On stage he really comes alive, interacting with his fans and putting on a great show.

His songs so far include the singles Your Body and The Life, both of which are chilled songs with a slight electro feel, and give a sound similar to artists like Fabolous and Akon. They’re definitely worth a listen, and his upcoming highly anticipated album ‘The Warm Up’ is set to be a big one when it comes out. J Swagg is definitely going to be one of the artists who we’re hearing a lot about over the next year.
