Meet J-Nasty

By Sarah BlessingPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

My name is J’Quan Towns but my stage name is J-Nasty and I’m from CT Connecticut where every artist hate on one another also where the music industry won’t let us in the door for nothing so we must kick it down. I’m 30yrs old I been doing music for the past 16yrs now but started doing music when I was 14. I just hit a million streams on Spotify and my most streamed song is Hot 8 At 8 Hot 93.7 Soundtrack streaming over at 200k. I love what I do because it’s very therapeutic where I can express how I feel, talk about things that people can relate to and touch people souls. Then I love it to help change lives, to put smiles on peoples faces, to really make a difference in the culture things that I have to offer to the game. I love what I do because I got to work with some of my favorite music industry people like Cassidy who I did a song with and co-signed me, Hitman Holla where I did a cypher and I got to shoot the video with him, Dj Flippp where I drove from CT Connecticut all the way to California to make a hit record with him called 40 Hrs cause it took me 40 Hrs to get to Cali, Legendary Dj Ron G who put me on 7 of his mixtapes where I landed on 2 front covers one with Young Thug and Tory Lanez then he got to promote an market me for a good 3 months, also the hot 93.7 radio station team was playing my songs on the radio several times and Burn Poe who did a skit for my song called OverNight that just hit over 100k streams. What makes me different is my story on how I grew up in DCF, taken from my mom when I was 8yrs old because of her smoking crack, just now finding and meeting my dad after 30 years. I’m a true artist that makes real subtitle, concept, storytelling, substance vibing life experience music that’s what makes me different is my story alone it’s too much pain to talk about plus I have 9 siblings on my mom side so we all have a story to tell including my mom since we all grew up in DCF. In the next 5 years I can see myself on top of the world healthy doing so much stuff weather it’s business, music, film, production, label, land and more. I wear many hats to do what needs to be done that most won’t do because most people ain’t build for this. I can see myself giving back to those in need, being a advocate to the kids that’s in DCF to guide them in the right direction show them it’s never to late because look at me I came from the same place and was able to make it out so if I did you can to. Things I want to accomplish in life is for me to be a better me, to work with more industry people, to build a bigger following/brand, get paid to do shows, to get verified on social media, to keep making hit songs, performing at festivals continue to be the best, singing artist, producers, DJ’s and more. What I bring to my industry is a new sound, look, authenticity, products, quality, content, subtitle, money and culture. I want to be remembered by my legacy an all the hard work that I put in for the last 16yrs an counting, the 1k songs that I put out into the world and the work ethic that you need to succeed game/business.
