J.Did grew up with a love for music passed through his father who has a larger collection of CDs & vinyl than most DJs. As a shorty in elementary school, Did was introduced to rap music through the Hiphop culture. The driving beats and catchy rhythms enticed him to follow along. J.Did began to write rhymes of his own. Shortly after, he began performing at talent shows and local spots. In December of 2002, he helped found the rap trio the R.O.C. Wanting to expand his music, feeling constrained by the group, he broke off from the R.O.C. and began to plan a solo career. His first single, “Neva Gonna Stop”, produced by local composer Tah Chi released in 2006 and received some moderate commercial radio play and developed a buzz. In the time that followed “The Kid” has caught the ears of the revolutionary X-Clan; performed with underground legend Corey Red and recorded a song with Royce Da 5’9”. J.Did has also had the privilege of working with Grammy-nominated Beatsmith (from Miami’s Hit Factory), TracKings (Juvenile, Benzino), LA the Craftzman (Rawkus & Warner Bros. Records), Arolace (Benny Blanco), Dre Holmes (VH1-awarded songwriter) as well as many talented up-and-coming artists and producers.

J.Did has an album in the works but is waiting on legalities and all the small-print stuff that records have to go through before being put on the market. In the meantime, he launched a website, OvenFreshTunes.com, and continues to be active in the Hiphop community both locally and at large.
