J RockA

JRockA is a man of many trades with endless innovative ideas to bring more light and inspiration to the world. Born on the birthday of his father, he was passed down with the passion for life and creation. During his childhood years, many of his family road trips were spent listening to legendary artists such as Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon. He was raised in Massachusetts where he spent his adolescent years writing poetry and rhymes, freestyling, drawing and spray painting graffiti style art, as well as entering and winning many different styles of art competitions. With his love for music and arts, he found his muse in the hip hop world. In his early teens, he was first inspired by the likes of Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Def Squad, KRS-One, Nas, and Wu-Tang. It became a ritual where every Tuesday he would be the first one at the local record store awaiting new hip hop albums to release. It became a love to collect albums, with appreciation of all aspects of the artists deeply from the album art to the lyrical content and the production. In college, his rhyming and graffiti styles evolved in Providence, RI amongst a diverse culture that heavily influenced his freedom of self expression with inspiration from the music of Blackstar, Common, The Roots, Slum Village, Outkast, J-Live, Rawkus Records Emcees, Hieroglyphics, & so many others.

Sarai Knowledge

From the fiery sign of the Aries cycle, cries of laughter and good vibes echo amidst the islands of the Philippines where Sarai Knowledge was given birth ready to rock the stage and rip upon the microphone. It was at the age of four when Sarai arrived in the jazzy streets of New Orleans. Surrounded by creative souls and free spirits, inspiration sparked in her young heart from the collective dreams and hopes of incredible jazz musicians. Following where the economy was booming, Sarai's family relocated to the northeast where she arrived in Massachusetts. Being nurtured in a predominately religious household, she was raised with a spiritual upbringing. In church she began performing at the early age of nine in choir and plays and also taking organ lessons. The beautiful four seasons inspired the moods of acoustic, funk, reggae and pop - leading her to writing and collecting music of all genres at a young age. But it was at the age of 12 when Sarai became a hip hop head from the first sound of Me, Myself, and I. With her deep influences from George Clinton, emerged the findings of De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest. From buying underground mixtapes in NY, she became a disciple of hip hop's teachings and took in all the positive knowledge from her lyrical mentors. Music became her life and pure focus. Expanding her musical gifts, Miss Knowledge bought her first acoustic guitar at 15. Her drive and passion gave her the ability to teach herself to play the guitar, the didgeridoo, piano while writing songs and rhymes, as well as poetry. In high school, she took drama and music class, participated in every talent show and school play, while still actively involved in choir and modeling full-time.Throughout college, Sarai attended The Royal Academy of Performing Arts where she took vocal lessons and always made time to perform at open mics.After Sarai achieved her bachelors degree, she quickly moved to California. From San Diego to San Francisco, the streets were alive and filled with creative passions of art and music. She was immediately filled with inspiration and began performing at cafes, and clubs while also volunteering throughout the community. Throughout time she worked with various uplifting programs such as Youth Speaks poetry organization, Hurricane Katrina Relief foundations, Homeless Outreach programs, and working with the Boys and Girls club fundraisers.In 2008 Sarai joined forces with JUST BE Records and began taking her career to the next level. Since then the lovable powerhouse songstress, actress, and model that is known in the industry as a triple X threat, has collaborated with some of the most respectable emcees in the game and has rocked stages internationally. Influenced by vast arrays of genres and styles and inspired by all the beauty, hope, and struggles of the world; she is as lover of life, she's an optimist, a believer in faith, and she always sees the glass half full. Sarai Knowledge aspires to bring forth an uplifting and positive message to the people with her gift and passion with the power of music.
