Raymond Jones Jr. better known by his stage name Kid Jones was born in Los Angeles, CA on February 28th. Kids earliest years were spent in Oceanside, CA being raised by his single mother. Kid Jones initial introduction to music, arts, and sports during his educational journey helped him to develop a true passion for performing. Later incidents during Kids senior year of high school pushed him to begin pursuing music as a fulltime career.

Kid was declared the winner of The Urban Networks Music Entertainment and Marketing Summit Indie Music Showcase where he received a distribution deal, radio play, and a featured single on Marble Ice Entertainments compilation album titled The Future. Kid was also selected to be on Slip-N-Slide Records On Da Grind due to the prior success of his two singles Old School, and This is What I Do. Kid has been featured in Whats Tha Juice Magazine, Urban Network Magazine, S.G.I. B. Magazine, and Expose Magazine. He has also made guest appearances on DPG TV, VH1s Saddle Ranch, and The Val Show.
