Going by the alias J-Dub, he has made a lot of noise in the underground hip hop scene. He writes, produces, and engineers all of his own material. He also writes and produces for several other artists. After doing some work with other artists as a group, J-Dub decided to stay to himself and remain a solo artist. It is after being a solo artist that he received the nickname “The King”, because of his domineering presence on the microphone. This name led to J-Dub starting his own record label entitled Royal Family Records. All artists on the label release and perform solo work as well as come together as a group, named The Royal Family, to release and perform collaboration material.

J-Dub is very serious about his craft. He has graduated from an audio recording school where he studied to perfect his work as an engineer and train his ear. He also graduated from a Cal. State University where he received his bachelors degree in audio recording as well.
