Backstory:

SPACE ( also known as Christopher Fox Jr.)

Was born in Atlanta, Georgia at Grady Hospital. He has two brothers and a sister and is the middle child (two older brothers and a younger sister). His mother was a nurse at Grady and his father is a construction worker so they didn’t have much time to spend with their children with all of the work they had to do. Most of the time, their would be a baby sitter at their house by the name of Sasha; but this was around the time he was a teenager. As a child, he wasn’t one of the baddest kids on the playground but he definitely wasn’t the nicest. He got into a few fights (he’s won most of them but actually lost a few fights as a middle schooler; high school he was pretty popular within each group of kids). He’s been suspended from high school a few times and would skip class to either: f*** with b****es, sell d**** (mostly weed; but pills as well) and just do random f*** s*** because school definitely wasn’t the move. When Christopher was 16, he ended up f***ing his baby sitter and made her catch feelings for him. Unfortunately for Christopher; after six month of f***ing on his baby sitter he ended up getting her pregnant. Since he was young and dumb at the times he didn’t really know what to do so he fled from his home life to get away from his parents and away from the baby sitter who eventually ended up telling his mother she was pregnant with his baby.

Now only 16 years old(2017) Christopher didn’t have much places to go. Christopher would end up robbing and kicking door to get what he needed to get to stay with a good amount of money. He was highly into fashion at the time too so he would always dress nice and cop earrings that looked nice from the mall. Most of the time, he was crashing at b****es places because he would be f***ing them and they would easily fall in love with him and let him stay with them. The oldest female he f***ed was actually 34 years old and she had a decent amount of wealth and had a few connections within the music industry because she was an A&R. Since he became so fond of her he was making music within her mansion which she had a great studio set up so he could make amazing music and actually practice his talents. When he turned 18, he ended up getting her pregnant as well but that was after the fact that one day she had brought Pharrell Williams over to the house. Pharrell was digging the sound the Christopher (now known as SPACE) had going for him. After working for him for a year and helping him executive produce his own first mixtape (“BIOLOGICALLY BLESSED”) Pharrell officially took him under his wing and helped him get signed to Epic Records....

SPACE story begins from here at 19 years old...

Stage Name: Jay Visionz
Real Name: Jayveon Williams
Real Life Person: Keith Powers
Artist Type: R&B/Homegrown
Artist Comparison: Miguel
Artist Personality: Prince
Label: RCA Records
Executive Producer/Mentor: Sade
Age: 23
City: Sacramento --> New York --> Jamaica

Background: Jayveon Williams was born in Sacramento, CA to Donna Williams & Marcus Williams. Jayveon grew up in a very loving home in the South Area of Sacramento, CA. His parents were highschool sweethearts and got married 2 months after they graduated and had Jayveon a year later. The youngest of 3 and only boy, he was surrounded by love from all over and cherished the time spent with his family. Growing up in a home primarily filled with women, he learned how to treat and respect one from an early age. His father always taught morals and values of equality of the opposite s***and how much a woman should be treated and appreciated. Jayveon's mother worked as a waitress while his father worked as a security guard but on the side, he performed as a guitarist for multiple local nightclubs and events. He quickly gained a name for himself in the city being known as a very skilled guitarist and trumpeter.

Jayveon's love for music started very young as his father taught him everything he knew about the guitar & piano where Jayveon became very skilled at a young age performing at many school talent shows and at church. It wasn't until he turned 11 where he found his true love.... Singing & Writing. After joining the school and church choir, Jayveon began writing songs for the choir to perform and eventually moved from guitarist to lead vocalist as he blew away every crowd he performed in. His voice was very reminiscent of a young Michael Jackson and Ralph Tresvant. His household was filled with the sounds of soul & r&b as his family would gather together in the living room and sing and dance while their father played the various instruments. Jayveon grew up with many influences including Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Prince, Sade, Earth, Wind & Fire, New Edition, Bobby Brown, Debarge, Charlie Wilson, Tevin Campbell, Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, SWV, Jodeci, Usher, Boyz II Men, TLC, R. Kelly, Jon B, Donell Jones, 112, Jagged Edge, Tony Toni Tone, Troop, Shai, Al B Sure, Musiq Soulchild, D'Angelo, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Maxwell, Janet Jackson and many others.

After gaining major traction throughout the years in his hometown for his phenomenal voice, Jayveon graduated from Laguna Creek High School with high honors and took a huge leap by moving to New York and attending New York University. While there Jayveon began to really focus and tone his style and work toward his craft as he began to experiment with music production, eventually gaining a basic knowledge on how to produce his own sounds digitally. Jayveon began to grow his name at his school as he sung his heart out and performed guitar on campus during breaks between class in order to make some money on the side as well as taking nightclub gigs around the city. After a nightclub show performance, he was stopped by Stuart Colin Matthewman or better known as, Cottonbelly, who told him he had one of the greatest voices he had heard in a very long time and asked of he would like to work with one of his associates in the music industry. Jayveon accepted his offer and received a ticket the next day to Jamaica. After traveling there, he was introduced to Sade Adu who had been living there for a few years. Jayveon performed like he never had before and got a round of applause from the entire Sade band. Since then, Jayveon and Sade have grown a strong bond and relationship as they took him under their wing. After having a major backing from Sade and recently inking a record deal with RCA Records, there is nothing to stop Jayveon from taking over.

Elijah Watts: The Answer to the fast-food era of music, A Superstar in the making

You might not be familiar with the name Elijah Watts but soon enough, this will be a household one at the very least. Having just turned 21 a month ago, Watts is gearing up to showcase his talents to the worldwide stage. Elijah is no stranger to the industry, having been inside of it since a young age. With rumored ties to Pharrell Williams & Tyler, The creator as well as a mindblowing label deal with Columbia, the mystery of Watts is vastly interesting.Being the second cousin of current young rapper Jaden Smith and nephew of the fresh prince himself Will Smith, these connections seemingly become clearer as to how they were obtained. Watts isn’t banking on his family name to holster himself into stardom but rather his infectious, at times experimental and heavily worked on pieces of music. Watts prides himself in creating timeless works of sonical art instead of what we have been accustomed to in the end of the decade beforehand. If music is looking for a savior, one might have been found with Elijah Watts.

Born in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles, California, Watts has always been fascinated with the idea of being the biggest star in a room. His parents had shared a bit of fame as well, his father Deion Watts being a musician in the 80s as well as his mother Jamie Watts being known as a fashion icon in the 90’s.Bouncing between living in Fairfax and Paris, France for a portion of his life, Watts had gotten a grasp of both cultures internally as well as externally. Elijah had become invested in music at the early age of 7, stating he had written his first song at 8. He doesn’t brag about his but rather laughs and ponders on why music had become his first love so easily. After taking musical lessons throughout elementary and middle school, Watts had turned into a multi-instrumental musical act. Taking up a modeling career for a few years in high school, Watts had gotten cut after a modeling show and fully devolved into making music. Watts had released a multitude of demo cuts on soundcloud before meeting with Columbia and signing a historically large record deal. His musical styles tween along the lines of funkish, rap and pop rock fused together beautifully.Inspired by the likes of John Frusciante, Gorillaz, Kanye West, The Neptunes and Daft Punk, Elijah is no stranger to trying to make music that's outside the box but can reach the masses with ease.

As Elijah spoke to us about his upbringing, he was working on a couple of cuts for his forthcoming debut album. Without revealing too much, Watts stated this record feels super inspired, he said “I’m not hit chasing, much rather chase a feeling and if it resonates with the people, it will go number 1 itself”. Watts did reveal that his project was being overlooked by established artist Tyler, The Creator. “He had heard some of my demo cuts back in 2018 and decided to work with me. Tyler is the big bro. He’s very blunt and honest, it's needed in an era full of yes men having artists craft less than stellar albums”. With his huge deal with powerhouse label Columbia records and seemingly unknown background, Watts understands the overwhelming hype for his first official LP. “I work well with pressure, they say you have all of your life to make your debut album and you can feel all the hard work of this record from the first listen”. Watts is the definition of a perfectionist and his skills will all be on display on his debut album, “Now’s The Time” coming out soon.

Artist Type: R&B/Lyricism
Comparison: Tory Lanez
Personality: 6ix9ine
Age: 23
Label: 10K Projects
Mentor: Kanye West

Judge Note: Click the mixtape link. It has information important to the story

Born in the Windy City with his mother and 3 brothers, Javonte Wardell was no stranger to a life of struggle. With his father leaving the family quickly after his birth, at a young age he was working odd jobs and doing whatever he could to ensure the family was together. This tight bond is what would eventually inspire his music career.

As with most talents in the industry, Javonte always had an interest in music and that was cultivated at an extremely young age. His mother, who worked multiple jobs throughout the year to keep Javonte’s family afloat, played her personal favorites giving Javonte a great appreciation for early 2000s R&B. With him being the youngest of 3 brothers, he picked up on what they were listening to. With his oldest brother being attached to Chicago legends like Common and the middle child closely following the street scene, that would be the drill we know today, Javonte’s music taste was born. The blend of smooth R&B with emotional rapping inspired him to try his hand at making music.

His first attempts at creating music were in Middle School where he would practice singing and freestyling. Although they were terrible, they were a start. A start to building an amazing and revolutionary career. When he entered High School, he began to take music seriously considering it to be the best way for him to help the family. In High School, he made music under the name ‘J.W.’ and would begin distributing mixtapes. While he was slowly making a name for himself in the school, he often worked in the school's art department with the choir teachers to help improve his singing abilities.

After barely graduating, he and a group of friends decided to pursue music and moved into a small apartment where they would all be working on their sound and trying to get a big break. It was during this period of reflection where Javonte changed his name from the somewhat childish ‘J.W.’ to ‘Just Want.’ A name meant to reflect his goals and where he wants to be. Through social media, he would connect with other artists in the city and, eventually, perform at a few public shows. His first big break came when he made contact with Taz Taylor, a producer who works with 10K Projects, in 2017. After hearing demo tapes, Taylor was sold and reached out to 10K in an attempt to get him signed. In a risky pick, they signed Just Want after 2 years of negotiation in 2019. It only went up from here as his newfound label connections landed him studio time with Chicago native Jeremih. These sessions were reportedly heard by Kanye West who would then formally reach out to Just Want saying he “liked the attitude” and that he “wanted to help produce a record.”

With a strong following in Chicago, Kanye West, and a new deal, Just Want is gearing up for his debut album, one that will surely be one for the books.
