Releasing my album that is called Country Pop Rap Music 2.0
My name is JJ Johnson but you can call me JAVA JAY I am a singer, songwriter, producer, rapper, and designer. I studied Computer Information Technology at Garnet Career Center graduating first in class. Out of 17 starting only 4 graduated. I graduated with a Master Certificate of Technology in Information Management. I have always written songs since I was a teenager, since about 14 years old and I have always been artistic. I began my musical journey by teaching myself how to play the flute and joining the Poca Middle School band in the 8th grade, and taught my self to play the flute at an 8th grade level on my own, including learning to read music. I have always somewhat been a self learner, and a go getter. I like work and collaborate with other producers and other artists because I get to make life long friends and pen pals. I have worked with producers from Africa, the UK, and I am set to work with a Country Recording artist from Canada soon on a featured song.
Country Pop Rap Music 2.0 is the official version that is extended from the original which was a demo. I published the demo album to have some underground work under my belt as an artist. I write all of my own songs, either produce my own music or collaborate. Country Pop Rap Music is a genre of music that I created with the combinations of Country Pop and Rap. On the album is one of each genre for a song as it is in it's stand alone genre, plus one techno song. The rest that was created is Country Pop Rap as a genre with influences of stringed American or African instruments, the catchy choruses of Pop music, and the beats of Rap or Hip Hop Music. I do rap in a few songs, but I prefer to sing. The point was to create a new type of instrumental to work with. I have included in my research that Appalachian Music was derived from Pop Music from the English, Pollock, and some Scottish decent, along with the Stringed Country Instrumentation from Africa, and Rapping was a thing of the "white man" from true Appalachian culture.
With the respect given where credit is due I had also found in my research that the modern banjo was invented in Africa, and in today's world most people believe that rapping or "singing swiftly" originated in Africa. In my project I learned how music has evolved, and how other cultures have adopted others music implementation/creation in their daily lives even in modern times. I had also discovered that the form of Country Pop Rap music was actually True Appalachian Music in our past from the 17th century and beyond.
To find out more on my research please search for "True Appalachian Music" on Google, and continue to the link for Wikipedia to get yourself started.
