"I want my career, my art, & my success to represent where I came from, & what made me who I am, my family" said Jo3 h3nson. He started pursuing a career in music at 12 yrs old after hearing Outkast's album "ATLiens." As a kid, Jo3 h3nson was an outcast, which was the catalyst to his need to express himself through music being that he felt as though he had so much to say, but no outlet to say it due to feeling like he didn't belong. At 13, Jo3 h3nson almost committed suicide due to the burden from the hardships & hurt he endured during that time in his life but it was DMX's song "Slippin" playing in the background while he was on the verge of taking his life, that spoke to him, & provided a much needed hope he had lost sight of, & stopped him from committing suicide that night. "DMX saved my life that night. I want my music to do for my listeners, what DMX's song did for me then, save them. His musical influences, to name a few, are 2pac, DMX, Outkast, Jay-Z, Eminem, Devin the Dude, N.E.R.D., Sade, Marvin Gaye, Daft Punk, & Prince.
