Born and raised in Baltimore, MD this son, husband, and father has been embracing his love for music since the age of 12. His earlier introductions to music were through Hip-Hop, which led him to writing raps, that later led him to being the co-founder of The YHGM Brand (one of the fastest growing brands in the Dc-Maryland-Virginia region).

His interest for DJ'n grew when he discovered his ability to use music to influence culture and make people move. Shortly after that, he was playing events for "DTLR, INC" (one of the leading retailers in the fashion industry for 30 years).  He applied his talents to the "BET Music Matters Tour" as the official tour DJ for recording artist CJ Hilton, playing venues all over the United States.

Since marrying the love of his life and having their first child, they have followed their interest to Los Angles, CA where they have started a national non-profit "Vanrod Cares, INC" to sponsor a center for the arts, and to sponsor community outreach efforts to support family interaction an efforts against childhood obesity.

He has performed at various events and retail in-store promotions, alongside top R&B and Hip-Hop Artists such as: Stalley, Currency, Milly Esquire, The Cool Kids, Greenspan, Trey Songz, Cheat-em GotBars, K. Michelle, T.I., Tra Holiday, Mario, Keyshia Cole, J-Cole, and CJ Hilton, just to name a few. What seems to many as an overnight success was actually birthed by hard work, countless relationships, and his faith in God, which he never takes for granted. In expanding his brand DJ Vanrod looks forward to sharing his experience of being a “National DJ” with the world capturing moments behind the scenes and on the stage.

Promiss, born Cameron Robinson, is a Baltimore native that lives by the notion: "my only weakness is telling myself  NO." Promiss says he credits that belief to the influence of his close friend and fellow artist "J Cheat", known to Promiss as "Cheatm." 
Born August 6, 1988 Promiss was biologically destined to love music. His father, Carter G. Robinson, whom he proudly refers to as his spiritual advisor, was already known for his own musical endeavors in the arena of the Gospel genre. During his early years, Promiss came up watching and hearing his father's melodic compositions; from that point on he knew he wanted to be a performer of the musical arts. His mother, Mercedes A. Sneed, immediately took interest and encouraged her son to chase every dream he had. However, until the age of eleven Promiss' primary love was playing drums (full set). In fact, he says he initially intended to pattern himself after another Maryland native, Dennis Chambers. It wasn't until age eleven that Promiss took to Hip Hop in a way that would soon assist him in cultivation and maturation. 
While spending his formative years in the Baltimore County Public Schools system, Promiss often recalls freestyle battling in the bus lanes of Southwest Academy, a middle school located in Baltimore County, Maryland. From middle school (Southwest Academy) to high school (Milford Mill Academy), Promiss made a name for himself as being one of the cleverest and uniquely designed individuals through always being himself. Promiss' musical influences expand beyond music, but include Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Curtis Mayfield, and "anybody worthy of global recognition" as Promiss himself has stated. Promiss' style is actually more philosophical in its approach; he believes in the power of strong lyrical content accompanied by smooth and rhythmic production. When asked how he would describe his style, he simply responded..."music is my style...and I understand my voice is scratchy, but I have no style...all I got is music. I hear the beat and I rap."
After taking time out to perfect his craft, assist others in their quest for success, and the pursuance of a degree in music which was short lived, Promiss is now the founder and CEO of Vertical Movement (VM) Recording, the label from which his first project will be released. Promiss is ready to share himself with the world; his only hope is that the world is ready to share its heart back.

J. Rell 'The Prince'

 A unique sense of style, charisma and distinctly individual
personality--not to mention, show stopping talent--is essential for an
artist creating a pathway into the music industry.

Combine these elements and throw in an upbringing on the Northwest
side of Baltimore, and there you have singer, rapper and all around
master of the stage; J.Rell 'The Prince'.

Surrounded by music from an early age,  J.Rell began singing in the
church choir at age 3. From there, he simply continued honing his
craft and developing his talent. After returning home from military
school, J.Rell met Mark Milly (now known as Milly Esquire) and DJ Vanrod and became one of the
founding artists of Young Hustlaz Gettin' Money (Y.H.G.M).

admires, which include Jay-Z, Tyrese and others.

"I only want to make my family and friends proud," he says. The late
DJ K Swift (who was his cousin) motivated J.Rell to take his career and talents to the
next level early in the game. Her memory and the support of his loved
ones and business team keeps J.Rell focused and grounded as he works
to take the industry by storm.
