J-Sixx Certified

I was born Jason Graves and I am a unsigned Houston artist. I stand out because I have several styles so I can’t be considered your average rapper, everyone else may stick to the style of their city but having traveled to different cities, I am able to showcase different styles and bring something different to the table. The fact that I don’t use profanity also makes it easier for all ages to listen. I got my inspiration to be an artist from the fact that I am able to make a difference with my words and through my experiences. It’s a good feeling to be able to express myself through music and see that I am able to touch someone’s life. I would have to say that Michael Jackson influenced me the most, he is the epitome of music. His music speaks volumes to everybody around the world and his status is so crazy that if he wasn’t an inspiration to anybody that chose to step into the music game, they need some re-evaluating. What grown man do you know besides Jesus can make grown men cry and pass out? J-Sixx actually wasn’t my first choice. My first choice was Mr. 6-One-0 but people who would talk to me would automatically shorten it up and just call me 6 so I decided to go back to the drawing board and see what I could come up with. I wanted something that would appeal to the masses but also something that would easily roll off the tongue of ladies. The J came from my first initial and the Sixx came from several things. Six months was the age that my daughter was when I first saw her because of my military career and it’s the number of letters in my last name. The extra x was added because sex sells. The fact that 6-One-0 and J-Sixx are so close is merely a coincidence.
