Guests: Bobby J from Rockaway, DJ Myth, Adam Jumptown
Growing up in Rockaway Beach, Queens, NY, Bobby was immersed in a plethora of musical inspiration—from his mother’s love of classic rock to his father’s affinity for disco, soul & Motown. Bobby began his ascent into the industry at the young age of 13 when he met “The Rhythm” rapper Kwamé, who at the time had begun his reemergence in the industry as a producer. Bobby describes his time under Kwamé—who has since sold over 30 million records as a producer—as a period of artist development. The music Bobby J From Rockaway creates takes its inspiration from his mother’s love of classic rock, his father’s affinity for disco, soul & motown, and his brother’s obsession with grunge, metal and hip hop. Ultimately, Bobby, who’s sound & style are an ode to the era that birthed him, hopes his music can help inspire the imagination of new listeners.
