Born Jared Dalton, J.D. is a 27 year old hip hop artist/model/actor born and raised Nashville, TN. J.D. first began recording music using his desktop computer's built in microphone and Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Recording songs with friends and family through high school & college he grew to love the art of making music. So, J.D. decided to officially launch his music career in 2010 with the release of his album "It Ain't Easy" & the creation of www.jdmusic615.com Selling 500+ copies locally with hand to hand sales while promoting this newly created website for his music. In an effort to gain attention J.D. then performed at various venues throughout Nashville including The Muse, Undertones, Sport's Page, Jazz & Jokes, along with performing at a few other events such as Sound Therapy's Art Aesthetics Fashion Show where He modeled for local clothing lines as well. After releasing "More Music Vol. 1" & "The Evolution of JD: Love & Swag" in 2011 coupled with successful Facebook & Twitter marketing, J.D. was able to catapult his efforts into a spotlight seen clearly on his website, which was garnishing views from an audience all over the world.

Later that year in 2011 J.D. received a DM on twitter from Danny Maiden aka D-Boy, a producer from Perth, Australia who was looking to shop his beats and network into the music business. After messaging for a few weeks the two made their first track, "My Beatbox" which appeared on "The Evolution of JD: Love & Swag". So after this first successful collaboration, Danny decided to link J.D. with Gianmarco De Poloni aka Co-Sign, an amazing singer from Perth, Australia as well. The two immediately showcased their chemistry making "Shades of Grey", a smash hit that debuted at #2 on Australia's Triple J radio charts. As these three continued to work together they decided to form a group called "Flight School" after adding another member DJ Mulli, a rapper/DJ from Australia. After the creation of this new super group J.D. decided it was time to take a risk...

In Late 2011, J.D. decided to quit his day job, took out his retirement savings, and traveled overseas on his first ever plane flight to Australia with only a one-way ticket in hand. This was the craziest yet best thing he could have ever done with his life. During a layover in Hong Kong J.D. decided to start his journey hitting the streets alone and promoting his latest project. Loving the novelty of being away he showed no fear as he wandered aimlessly with only his dream in hand. Later after arriving to Australia, he met D-Boy & Co-Sign for the first time face to face and immediately had brothers for life. The wonderful experience of travel and working with world class artists made this the best year and a half of his life. Meeting friends from all over the world over the course of his time away and travelling to 8 other countries was quite the life experience for this young artist. He promoted his music in Hong Kong, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, England, Holland & Ireland making him known by random encounters with residents and other tourists. J.D. made it back to the states late 2012, and was looking to return to his music and pursuit of his ultimate goal. So he decided to drop a mixtape detailing his travels, "The Evolution of JD: Travel Life". This tape has already garnished international support and listeners from all walks of life. After this release J.D. linked with the world-renowned producer Reavis Mitchell (www.soulbeatpro.com) and immediately began working on "Born To Be A King" The EP which released April 4th & is now available on iTunes!!! Now J.D. is working on his next mixtape "The Evolution of JD: Black & Mild"!!!
