RIPDAYDREAM: Something I can appreciate when first listening to a new artist is that they took influence from others but made it their own. How do you find authenticity and your own sound?
J JAXX: I feel as if I took Travis Scott, NBA Youngboy, and a lil bit of Swae Lee all into one. I get the melodic side of Travis, the pain and motif from Youngboy, and the love type of sound from Swae. I’ve taken it and really made my own voice heard.

RIPDAYDREAM: Let's take a moment to visualize something together. Picture yourself walking out onto the stage during your world tour, and the scene before you is a sold-out show. The grind and hustle that brought you to this point suddenly make sense, and the journey itself becomes the source of excitement, not just the destination. I envision this as your reality, and I hope you see it within yourself as well. Often, we don't hear enough about the personal joys musicians experience throughout their careers. What is your favorite part of making music?
J JAXX: My favorite part of making music is seeing the people’s smiles when I get on stage. Seeing the people jump, seeing their hands up just vibin, it’s just amazing man.
RIPDAYDREAM: I want to dive into your song 'OFF the RIP'. If you break down the song you really have three songs from my perspective or like three different versions of J Jaxx. You start with "Melodic J Jaxx" giving synthetic resonance. Next comes "Narrative J Jaxx" painting a picture. All comes to an end with "Hold my drink I'm about to hop on this beat real quick J Jaxx". Insane the range you were able to fit into this song and also shout out to my boy Adam Banx producing this hit. Where does your creative mind go when you step up to the plate for a song like this?
J JAXX: That was the point!! Travis Scott’s 'Utopia' heavily influenced that song, you can hear it in the not 1 but 3 beat changes. Adam killed that shit on god that’s my brotha!!!! The creative mindset I walked into the studio and presented to Adam was “Imagine I’m walkin into the club, everybody’s high off life, everybody’s got a cup, and they sippin”, and that’s where 'OFF the RIP' came from.
