The music industry is ripe with talent, most of whom have found their humble beginnings releasing songs and just expressing themselves for fun. The same goes for Jeff Dunn, as his music career initially started out when he was doing song covers on YouTube. He would often upload them for his listeners to take a gander at when one day one of his listeners left a YouTube comment and requested him to upload original songs. He followed through on that one fan’s request, and the rest, as they say, is history. This is the story of Jeff Dunn and how he became the talented artist known as J. Star.

J. Star is a rising music star who creates music as a form of expression and a form of uniting the drastically separated world we have today. He got his start by writing videos with interesting storylines after realizing that almost every song out there had very basic storylines without much to say. After deciding to create his own songs and own storylines, he vowed to help present a better vision of the future.

The J.Star persona had not been born until recently. Jeff Dunn, the esteemed artist, released his first-ever hit entitled “Secret Dreams,” which caught the attention of a big YouTuber and female country singer who introduced him to VRadio Nashville, an indie music internet radio station based in Las Vegas. This was Jeff’s first big break, so he allowed the song to be aired on the renowned internet radio station. 

“Secret Dreams” gained so much attention that during its first weekly top 40 countdown, the song debuted at 24, making it all the way to number 9 eventually. This unprecedented success allowed Jeff Dunn to expand his horizons even further. Riding on the wave of his recent success, he released the song “CANCER,” which debuted on the weekly top-40 countdown on VRadio Nashville at number 1. 

Soon enough, Don. P, a big-time music producer, caught wind of Jeff’s artistry. With all the success that Jeff made for himself, he decided to create his own personal brand as the artist known as J. Star. His first hit as J. Star was a song entitled “Baby Girl,” a song produced by Don. P, available on all major streaming platforms. 

J. Star is extremely passionate about people. He always wants to treat people with the utmost respect, putting others first before himself. He is using his music platform as a means to bring peace and defend the weak, hoping to unite the world and heal it with his music.

The rising star is scheduled to perform at his first headlining show at the Rusty Nail in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, August 7th. This is exciting news for old fans and new fans alike, as J.Star hopes to let his music be heard and inspire more and more people in the process. He also plans to re-record his song “CANCER,” which is the song that got him noticed by Don. P, a song that holds so much history for the artist that it should be a momentous occasion once it happens.

Rumors have always been present in the world, and injustice has also been present for black artists or professionals in any industry. Lil’One uses music to discuss roadblocks he faces and inspires others to overcome hardships through flowing ideas and lyrics. His independent music is changing lives for the better.

The clarity of Lil’One’s mission as an artist is more evident than what is anticipated from his past. With 29 years of existence, the up-and-coming singer-songwriter is trying everything in his power to be better both in his presence and craft. He is on a mission to exceed expectations of what his past rumors and troubles label him as. The rising artist shares how nothing can drag his progression, not even his past mistakes and problems keeping his acts clean. Instead, the artist uses it as a weapon to leap surmountable feats.

He battles the world’s hatred, judgment, and anxiety one song at a time. Thus, his music is for those open-minded people who can relate to the pain and are eager to move forward. It is also for those willing to hear something apart from mainstream music, those who listen to releases with a vibe that can help motivate anyone to continue their daily routines. But above all, it is for those people searching for something to rely on, words that can allow people to keep trying.

He is a pillar of brilliant music artistry, confronting emotional and mental fallouts of life’s disaster. 

Lil’One is underrated, but his music changes that. He is thriving unstoppably from being frequently asked to create music to pursue such a route. When asked about his motivation to publish his music, he shares, “Really, I just wanted to reach out to other people struggling the same problems as me or, if not, let them know they are not alone.” He hopes that people can take whatever steps are needed to move forward in whichever route they chose to carry through his music. Improvement is the key word that centers his songs and singles. He also aims to make a diversion of entertainment songs that take away loneliness.

Music allows Lil’One, also known as Lil’Reggie, to remain deeply rooted in humility and progress through change. When a feeling of doubt suddenly dwells in his thoughts, he is suddenly awestruck at witnessing songs unfolding in his hands—one composition at a time. He provides a place of refuge through music, spreading positivity and a message of staying strong amid the struggles. His mantra lies in helping oneself first, and everything else will follow.

From time to time, Lil’One’s releases translate to details of a life of finding hope and acknowledging blessings and talents. This is why the artist competes with no one but himself, keeping everything natural and giving insights into his life on the lines and beats.

It’s practically impossible to think about great music in the eighties and nineties without thinking of the name Uptown Music. And the company would have never reached the heights it did without James Jenkins, who served as an executive for the legendary music company. Today, the artist is ready to open a new chapter and create more significant projects and greater influence throughout the world of music.

“Uptown Records was not only a record label but also a lifestyle,” shared James “Luv” Jenkins, music executive and artist. “We were credited as the first and only record company in history to create a lifestyle where people wanted to walk like us, talk like us, dress like us, and be us.”

Now Luv is back with a vengeance and has new strategies, plans, and a vision for long-term success that goes on for generations.

James Malcolm Jenkins, also known by his nickname Jimmy Luv, is a music icon of his own accord. He was one of the minds behind the writing and arrangement of hits like “Nobody Else” by Anthony Hamilton and his mix of “Nobody Else.” He’s worked alongside artists like F.S. Effect and Finesse and Synquis and labels like MCA Records, Giant Records, and Reprise Records. 

Growing up, Jimmy had a big vision for himself. He would also develop a thick skin and a knack for entrepreneurship and art through the years—an unlikely combination that would turn him into a lynchpin among music circles. He invested time and energy learning from influencers and leaders like James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Truman Capote, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nicky Barnes, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Russell Simmons, and Andre Harrell, to name a few. That background would turn him into a heavyweight, not just on the music production front but on the business side of things as well. 

Jimmy Luv Jenkins worked closely with Uptown Records founder Andre Harrell and other executives like Russell Simmons and artists like Teddy Riley, exposing him to all kinds of talents. He connected with artists, rappers, singers, filmmakers, directors, photographers, and other production and media professionals who continue to mold entertainment today. He was also instrumental in forming the careers of artists like Al B. Sure!, Christopher Williams, Guy, Heavy D & The Boyz, Father MC, Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Notorious B.I.G., and Soul for Real.

After his work with Uptown Records, James Jenkins continues to find golden opportunities. Earlier this year, he worked alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Billie Lennox on undisclosed projects. Apart from his music production work, James views himself as an educator who expands borders for people in fine grooming, cuisine, fashion, culture, music, and film.

For James Jenkins, his best work remains before him. He still has a fire in his eyes and a knack for discovering diamonds in the rough when it comes to talent and entertainment. Additionally, he remains driven and ambitious, seeking to reach levels as high as the Oscars and building multi-million companies that will shape music, film, and fashion.

James keeps busy working with up-and-coming artists and high-profile producers, waiting to strike the iron when it gets hot during these challenging times. As of now, Jimmy Luv has already set his legacy in stone among music executive “who’s whos.” But he still has so much more coming, and there’s no other way but up for him from here.
