JoRob - Real Soul Music
Posted: Monday - March 16, 2009 |

This DC native is quick to rebuff any suggestion of perfection, though the possibility of greatness is not lost but cultivated. Not questioned but embraced, not feared but respected. Drawing comparisons between himself and Martin Luther King, JoRob is prepared to bring a new sound to The Soul Music Movement. Maintaining the commonalities of love, sex and all of the above don't get confused with the theme, the formula is that of innovation.



With smooth vocals and production reminiscent of a 90's come up, JoRob blends and bends the styles of the greats resulting in Real Soul Music. JoRob may remind you of Marvin, Luther and Tank but his flow is all his own.



Yo! Raps chopped it up with JoRob about the haps surrounding his new release and just why he is prepared to be a major part of Black Music History.



Who is JoRob the artist?



JoRob is R&B's best kept secret and DMV's MLK of The Soul Music Movement. JoRob is that fun loving guy who loves to put smiles on faces. JoRob is the singer who will go against the grain and challenge all the other artists and even challenge the listeners



How has growing up in DC influenced your style of music?



Growing up in DC influenced my style of music by opening my eyes to the many different cultures I would see on a day to say basis and their music. DC is so full of soul and rhythm just like music. DC pushed me to be a better person and want to better things. I would really consider myself the first official DMV artist because I have lived in DC MD and VA. Each and every one of these locations I have gained something from. But at the end of the day DC is the place I can say I have gained the most. I had many hard times and few good times but the goods have always outweighed the bad.



What inspires you to write and produce music?



I was kind of forced into writing and producing because I didn't have the money to pay someone else. Now it's more writing than production because I just don't have the time anymore. I realized that I can't be a "Jack Of All Trades". I have also been inspired by the simple fact that I have experience so much in my lifetime and even though I'm still young. It's kind of funny because most people think I'm older than what I really am because of my maturity level. With everything I have experience over my life span I needed to get it out. I had a lot bottled up and if I didn't find away to express myself I would explode.



You say you are constantly re-inventing yourself to reach perfection. What does perfection look and sound like?



This is a really hard question to answer because I have not reached it yet. Perfection to me is something that can't be fully explained. It's more of a feeling than a look or a sound. Perfection feels really good, you see things a different way, and do things a different way. Perfection is a sense of accomplishment knowing you have done your job, actually having people tell you have made them feel better, changed their life in one way or another with words and thoughts. That is perfection to me.



You've given your voice to several projects supporting Black History. What kind of responsibility do you have (if any) to the further development of Black History?



Black History and the up come of my fellow Black people is a major responsibly. I have to find a way break the stereotype that society has of a Black person. I would like to be the "Mouth" of our people. When I'm able to I will have youth camps and help develop a chain of minority owned businesses. One of the major problems we have is the fact that most people can't get the help and the knowledge needed to get their business started. I know this from firsthand experience. I was able to gain support from a lot of different but it's easier said than done. I also want to help our Black women as much as possible. Growing up in a single-mother-parent house hold was crazy. I don't know how my mother or any mother can do this. It seems almost impossible. Even though my mother is the strongest person I know, intelligent, and can work harder than a lot of people out there, she was never given what she deserved. It was a struggle. I could see it in your eyes everyday working 2 almost 3 jobs. It killed me inside just as much as it killed her inside. I want to find a way to fix these types of issues. There is so much that needs to be done in so little time but with the support of my fans I can accomplish this.



Do you see yourself as a pioneer in the movement to advance the people? If so, in what ways?



Of course, I'll make sure of it. If I need to kick down a door I will. The only way I can help advance the people and create a movement that can't be stopped is if the people want me to. I got to have the support of others. Obama could not have become the first President without the people t - Maxine Ross

Eventually JoRob began to feature on many tracks for local artist in the Metropolitan area. As singer, songwriter and producer, he was known to enhance the tracks of other artist with his urban resonance, changing the overall feel of the music. He says he uses the pain that lies deep within his soul as well as his passion for music to grace each track, turning each song into a musical work of art. So how has JoRob managed to bring his sound to the matured flow he has mastered? In September of 2003 JoRob joined the Morgan State Choir where he preformed many times on National Television. While a member of the Morgan State Choir he had the honor of performing with The Baltimore Symphony for the king of Zimbabwe in front of thousands of people. This performance was for the grand opening of a new Black History Museum that was in Baltimore. Bill Crosby, Mantel Williams and many other distinguished guest speakers attended the history-making event. At the age of 21 JoRob Joined music label known as DieRich Mafia. Ironically all of the lead artists in DieRich Mafia are apart of JoRob’s family. Older Cousin ReddZ, who started the DieRich Mafia movement, was looking for a male vocalist that fit the image and shared the same ideas and creativity. ReddZ linked up with JoRob for the first time in years and felt that he would be one of the missing links to the DieRich Mafia Group. Within the group were JoRob’s older-half-brother RonDouble (of Day After Entertainment), his younger brother BigDell, and his two cousins ReddZ and G baby. A few months later his younger-brother, Young B who was 15 years old at the time joined the family business. With family come friends and that’s where close friend and engineer Pike comes in helping to produce many of DieRich Mafia tracks. Recently, JoRob has done performances at Club U, Capital City Records, Bar Non, H20, and The Zanzibar. On March 20th 2007 JoRob and his crew were interviewed on WHBC’s live radio, which was later on that year awarded for Best Show of The Year.



In May of 2007 JoRob opened up for Avant, which was hosted by 95.5’s Quick Silver. Later in May 2007 he was invited for a cameo in LX’s music video with DC Heat of 95.5. JoRob Also featured On the Mambo Sauce Mix tape Presented Noize Mob’s DJ Heat of 95.5, LX, and OMD. Mafia Magazine asked JoRob, what artist are out there that he would like to work with? “I want to work with R Kelly, TI, and 36 Mafia. I also want to work with people like Pitbull and Daddy Yankee. I want to work with anyone that wants to put good music out”. JoRob will surprise you when you least expect it with something you never thought he could do. He is able to turn nothing into something while figuring out new ways to re-invent himself. He has worked with the Big brothers and big Sisters association, volunteered for numerous teen camps, spoke with children at high school, and has raised thousands of dollars for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) who works with a few hundreds fundraisers such as Hurricane Katrina Victims, Cancer patients, and Single Parents. JoRob wants to open day camps for less fortunate teens and create workshops for people who want to learn business. Believe me readers, this is not an act, he truly is a generous, considerate, respectful, intelligent brother with a clear and focused goal. JoRob has finished his first album and is currently in the studio working on his second project. He is also performing at Zanzibar. With his street team, producer’s, DJ’s, featured artists and sound crew, JoRob is preparing to make that impact on the world hitting every avenue he can. “This will be a movement that will never end.” This new album is self- titled, JoRob. It features Ron Double, Big L, Pike, and Reddz. The album is sold through iTunes, Sound Click, and put in different stores off of contingency, like Shooters, Le Roche, mainly in the Metropolitan area.

VaTalent Talks With JoRob
VaTalent.com talks to accomplished Actor, Model, Producer, Singer/Songwriter JoRob




www.twitter.com/JoRobisMusic
First of all it’s an honor and a privilege to be talking with you today. And to say thank you for letting VaTalent.com post your music and videos back in 2007 when we first started.

VaTalent- Where are you from?


JoRob: I was born in Washington DC, I have also lived in Virginia & Maryland. DC has always been my hometown but I consider my self a DMV artist.

VaTalent- How did growing up in DMV influence your music?


JoRob: Living in the surrounding metropolitan area has influenced me in a number of ways. Being around the inner city opened my eyes to the streets & the people who may not have had a lot or had people to push them to get out and accomplished their dreams. Living in DC gave me common since and humbled me. A lot of people feel they can make it as an artist off pure talent but that’s not true. You got to have drive and be able to put In work. I owe a lot of my success to the fact of me being able to put the footwork in. I’m not scared to work hard and go the extra mile. At the end of the day I can’t put my career in anyone’s hands but mine. Living in Washington DC is the backbone of my life, it’s in my blood.


JoRob: Living in Virginia and Maryland is where I gained a lot of my business sense. One thing my family wanted me to have is a good education. So while I was living in Southwest DC I was going to School in Virginia, eventually moving to Virginia.


The main influence to my music career is just doing something that could change lives. There are so many problems today that need to be addressed and fixed. I want to be able to help make that happen. There are not enough people out there in the world trying to do this. There are too many people who know nothing about the “Struggle” trying to make the rules and fix a problem they don’t know about.



VaTalent- It seems to be a good time to be a DMV artist how do you feel about this movement that we have going on here in this area?


JoRob: I honestly don’t feel it’s a good time to be a DMV artist because It’s still a struggle. DMV artists don’t have the support they should from his or her hometown. Us younger artist are blamed for this when it has been going on before we even came about. It’s so bad that most artists have to move from DC to get a deal.



VaTalent: What separates JoRob from not only the DMV artist but all of the other R&B artists?


JoRob: I’m a down to earth person. I’m in this game to change more than just my life. I’m looking to do more than just be an R&B singer. I want to do everything from pop, country, Rock, Latin, you name it. I’m not looking for the glamour right now. I want to get established help as many people as I can & do things that have never been done. Later on down the line I’ll start to have a little fun. One HUGE thing that separates me as a DMV artist is that I’m going to always claim my home town.


JoRob: I have Starting a movement that will make history. I’m going to make sure to stamp DMV music and expose all the other artist from other area’s that have taken from us and ran with it. I’m not afraid to say I CAN’T do this with out the help of my fellow Washingtonians. Yes, I’m still growing as an artist but I want people to accept me for more than just my music; I want people to accept me for my dream to make their dreams come true.

VaTalent: When did u realize that you wanted to be a performer?


JoRob: I think I realized I wanted to be a performer when I didn’t like going to see live concerts. I came to the point In my life where the only way I was going is if I was performing. Some one asking me to go to a major concert without me being able to perform is like telling a Marine he can’t fight and has to settle for a desk job.

VaTalent:- What can we expect from you new album?


JoRob: You can expect a Real R&B Sound from my Album. I think I can speak for everyone when I say R&B music just aint what it used to be. There’s no feeling in the music today.. no passion. I think from the early 80’s to the mid 90’s R&B was at its peak, at least for my generation. Most of my fans tell me my music has a 90’s sound with a 2010 twist. Just think about it, If you compare a Joe or Jodeci record to a Pretty Ricky or Chris Brown record there is a major difference from the sound, quality, and content. I’m giving the people what they want not what they have been forced to listen for the past decade.


VaTalent: And you do a lot of producing too?


JoRob: Over the past few years I have Produced a few tracks, the crazy thing is I can’t read music. I had to teach myself 90% of what I know because I didn’t have a lot of people out there willing to show me. I don’t do it as much as I used to because things have been really busy for me. I’ve realized I can’t be the “jack of all trades” One of these days I may produce a whole - VATalent

“I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, nor just for tomorrow, but in the here and now”
-Carl Sandburg

Sometimes the darkness of our yesterdays can cast clouds on our tomorrows. People who endure unusual hardships early in life have two choices: to live bound by the tragedy of their circumstances, or to rise above and break free. Singer JoRob could have easily chosen the first option, having lost his father to a violent crime and being raised in a modest single parent household. Fortunately for the music lovers of the world, he rose above.

More impressive than his remarkable life story, is JoRob’s music. It takes you back to 90’s R&B; remember Jodeci, Dru Hill, and Boyz II Men? Whether he’s singing a ballad or a club banger, the “soul” never leaves his voice. Speaking of club bangers, the song “I’m Your Man Tonight” has chart topping potential. The up-tempo track plays well to hip hop and pop audiences alike. Slower numbers like “You Got My Heart” will appeal to R&B purists (he even goes shirtless in the video, watch out now!).

As JoRob discussed with One2One, DVM is a notoriously difficult market to break into.
The competition is stiff, and the critics are relentless. Despite the odds
being stacked against him, I predict great things in this young man’s future.
JoRob has a diverse repertoire, great stage presence, indomitable work-ethic,
and….he gives great interviews. Read on for One2One’s one on one with JoRob.

O2O: Which song that you've recorded is your favorite? Why? What is the
meaning behind it?
J.R.:Hands down my favorite song of all time is “I Wonder” There was a
lot going on in my life at the time. I really didn’t have a lot of people to talk to about the things that were going on in my life; the only way to really let things off my chest was to write. This song is about a girl who was different from the rest. We eventually split up…Everyone of my songs touch on the real life experiences that everyone has probably had to deal with at least once in their lives.

O2O:Describe a normal day?
J.R.:It seems like everyday is different for me. As of now I’m on my “solo dolo” until I find someone who is really about making change and trying to make major moves.



O2O: What do you consider to be your greatest musical accomplishment so far?
J.R.:I think my greatest musical accomplishment is just being able to change young artists’ lives. I get a lot of artists hitting me up asking me for advice. My goal is to help change lives. There is so much to do…My next goal is to get these older, more experienced people to start helping younger talents as well.

O2O:I know your childhood was rough. When did you know that you wanted to become a singer?
J.R.: I got sick of having so many ideas and dreams, with many people telling me “it’s never going to happen” and looking at me crazy.. I was shy when it came to my singing abilities for a longtime. After awhile singing was an involuntary act for me. Music was probably the only thing that kept me together when I was in school. I could put on some head phones and drift into a different world. When I was in high school I really didn’t know a normal teen’s life. I honestly felt like I was a 30 year old man because of all the responsibilities I had. I know it might sound crazy but I wrote the words “Change the World” on some notebook paper and taped it to my wall so that everyday I woke up it would be the first thing I saw. Becoming a singer is not even one percent of what I want to do. I want to literally change the world and change lives.
O2O: With everything that has happened to you and your family, what kept you on the sane side of life?
J.R.: With my pops getting murdered, moving at least 2 times a year to find reasonably priced places and traveling from DC or MD to go to school in VA; having to live in a constant struggle for quite sometime, I used this to fuel my passion for music. I guess staying busy keeps my mind off of everything. The entertainment industry is nothing close to what you see on TV. It kills you soul and the way you look at a lot of the people in the industry. Being from the DMV area makes things 110 times harder because we get no respect. One of the main problems with this area is that the people who have the answers don’t want to help. I created a network for DMV artists but all are welcome. The URL is http://yourdmv.ning.com

O2O:What is your most memorable show that you've performed, and why?
J.R.: My most memorable show is when I was attending Morgan State and got to perform for the king of Zimbabwe with the Baltimore Symphony. There was a brand new historical museum about to open up in Baltimore for African Americans. I have never seen so many people in my life come to a show. Just to experience something like that took my breath away.

O2O: If you could meet a musician living or dead, whom would it be and why? What about them made you admire their musi - www.one2onepromedia.com

On a cool September evening, Jorob & I talk shop. As the subject of the game and making moves came up. This is what the RnB singer had to say!
“I’m really trying push the knowledge on the entertainment business because the average artist has no clue about what needs to be done to take their career to the next level. I think we can blame this on the fact that artist believe what they see on TV and major artists make things seem easy. Most artist don’t know what BMI or ASCAP is, don’t know about sound exchange, performance contracts nor have a clue how to copywriter their music, just to name a few. But my main goal as a pioneer of the entertainment industry is to take my gift of music and touch the lives of people who may be sick or less fortunate. Also I want to be a positive roll model for young kids. When I was growing up I had nothing! It was almost impossible to make ends meet. My Pop’s was murdered in cold blood leaving me the man of the house at a very young age with my brothers and sisters. So i want to help give people who may be in that position, or any type of struggle, the hope and knowledge that gives them the strength to keep moving. The important thing is to make sure they help the next person. Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy when i tell them I’m trying to change the world so i really want to show them im serious about what i say.”

On a cool September evening, Jorob & I talk shop. As the subject of the game and making moves came up. This is what the RnB singer had to say!
“I’m really trying push the knowledge on the entertainment business because the average artist has no clue about what needs to be done to take their career to the next level. I think we can blame this on the fact that artist believe what they see on TV and major artists make things seem easy. Most artist don’t know what BMI or ASCAP is, don’t know about sound exchange, performance contracts nor have a clue how to copywriter their music, just to name a few. But my main goal as a pioneer of the entertainment industry is to take my gift of music and touch the lives of people who may be sick or less fortunate. Also I want to be a positive roll model for young kids. When I was growing up I had nothing! It was almost impossible to make ends meet. My Pop’s was murdered in cold blood leaving me the man of the house at a very young age with my brothers and sisters. So i want to help give people who may be in that position, or any type of struggle, the hope and knowledge that gives them the strength to keep moving. The important thing is to make sure they help the next person. Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy when i tell them I’m trying to change the world so i really want to show them im serious about what i say.”
