J-VIBE |
Florida has always been a state full of good vibrations: sunshine, the ocean, fresh oranges. It also produces its fair share of musical stars, who often run the risk of getting overlooked, coming from such distant music industry shores. That may be changing with the emergence of such highly-talented writer/producers like Jason A. Farmer, a.k.a J-Vibe.
Based in Coral Springs, Florida, J--Vibe has cast a wide creative net, producing in the genres of R&B, hip-hop, jazz, gospel, rock, pop, salsa, reggaeton and reggae, drawing from the many musical currents that pass through the Sunshine State. In addition to touring the world playing keyboards for such artists as Third World, Kymani Marley, Sean Paul and others, he has worked with a great range of artists as a writer/producer, including Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Freddie Jackson, Fat Joe, Wyclef Jean, Beenie Man, Pitbull and others.
He received a 2008 Grammy nod for Best R&B Contemporary Album for Just Like You by Keyshia Cole, which went platinum within a few weeks and contained the hit single, "Heaven Sent," cowritten (with Cole and Alex Francis) and produced by J-Vibe.
In the past year alone, J-Vibe has found himself working with artists like Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown, Toni Braxton, Estelle and Vivian Green, and just got nominated for a 2009 Best R&B Song Grammy for "Heaven Sent," which also received a Female Vocal Performance of the Year nomination.
