Jheron

My name is Jheron Staley, and I am 22 years old from Los Angeles, CA. Every since I was young I’ve always loved all kinds of music. One of the first albums I remember listening to as a kid was Green Day’s American Idiot. I’ve also grown up listening to Funkadelic, The Gap Band, Prince, and Michael Jackson thanks to my parents. I started getting into hip-hop later on the years and wanted to learn how to write lyrics. I wrote my first song at 10 years old, it was about a girl I liked in my 5th grade class. I started playing guitar at age 11, I wanted to play Happy Birthday for a friend. After that, I was hooked and wanted to learn a lot more. Every week was a new song until i finally learned how to read music at age 14. When I entered high school I learned Bass guitar, drum set, piano, and was apart of the Hollywood High Drumline and Rock Band accompanied by LACER Afterschool Programs. My musicality just grew from there; a lot of my new friends introduced me to more music and helped me throughout high school. I started rapping at age 16. First it was just to be a class clown, but then I really got into it. I taught myself how to make beats on GarageBand and eventually Logic Pro. I made my first mixtape in 2012 and it was called Mentality. It was poor quality but I still enjoyed it at the time. I’ve been getting into Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Tyler the Creator, and MF Doom over the years and I wanted to replicate something like that. When I left high school, I wanted to work on my next project. I went through a very hard breakup and wanted to share the pain and anger I felt. This mixtape was called Dark Dreams and Depressing Nightmares and was released August 18, 2015. I took a long break from Music and wanted to focus on myself. I wanted to make an album in 2017 but never did just because I wasn’t ready. I just spent time with family and friends, enjoying life. Around May of 2018, I finally found my muse and decided to get back to the music and wanted to create something different from my other music. I wanted to incorporate my guitar playing with my music. I wanted to stand out from the usual crowd.
