Music producer JMJ, was a recording artiste at the initial stages of his music career, before later transitioning into music production.
JMJ, Born Joshua Raphael, has said that he grew up in a Christian family so he was groomed in the church band which game him the opportunity to learn how to play various musical instruments.
According to him, he later developed the knack to compose his own music.
He told Joy FM's entertainment journalist Kwame Dadzie on Showbiz A-Z that it was his engagement with KK Duah and Appietus at Case Frequency that birthed his interest in making beats than singing.
"I was a church boy so the music I wanted to do was gospel but I was a complete R&B boy. I loved Brian McKnight, name them," he said.
He mentioned that he would always listen to Kofi Kum Bilson and Doreen Andoh play foreign songs, record them on a cassette and and try to play the keyboard along.
JMJ indicated that after Appietus had recorded his demo song for him at KK Duah's Case Frequency studio, he developed the knack for music production.
"I thought I would just record my demo and then move on to me being an artiste but I fell in love with the process of creating music so much that I ignored my singing. What really became the interest was being a part of the compostion," he said.
Talking about how he finally got employed at Case Frequency as music producer, JMJ said after getting his demo recording done, he kept going to the studio and KK Duah wondered why I was frequenting the place. Later, he got employed there after Appietus had left.
JMJ who has worked as a music producer for about two decades has produced music for artistes such as Stonebwoy, Kaakie, Samini, Sarkodie, Obrafour, Ghetto KB, Jah Lead, among others.
