Growing up in cities plagued with violence & drugs, jthestarcarr97 was always searching for an outlet to vent what he experienced. His first was basketball. He played organized basketball from age 5 to age 19. After a successful high school career culminating with him leading his team in scoring and assists his senior year, he was accepted as a walk-on to Randall University’s men’s basketball team. This didn’t last a single semester. After dropping out in 2016, he became fully dedicated to music. However, his love for music was not new to him. He began freestyling for friends & family at age 12. It wasn’t until 2014 however that he released his first rap video which debuted on Facebook and convinced him to take it more serious. “When I saw the response that one got, I knew I was onto something” he said. Since then he has found success as an up and coming artist securing shows with Baeza , Emg Santana and was even able to co-headline the main event at the Yam Theatre in Portales, NM with K CAMP back in 2019. He says, “Music is my whole life. If I couldn’t express myself with this I don’t know what I’d do.” Now as he continues to grow a following both here & on Bandlab, it’s clear his future is bright. Hopefully we get to see more of him in the future. https://linktr.ee/jthestarcarr97
