The mission for Finess: "To speak a message into ears that hear, about the things my eyes have seen."

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"!!!

Tequan Daly was born in the spring of 1984 in Nashville, TN. He then became immersed into Spirituality, Education, Sports, and Music. Growing up On Haynes Park Drive was a learning experience that exposed him to the struggles, violence, joys, and pains of black people that were to soon be experienced as all people do. Having brothers much older than Tequan allowed him to have models for older thinking and appreciation for quality. 
“I only used to listen to my brothers’ music and listened to their reasons for it being good or bad. I was too young to buy my own, so you can say I am a victim of my musical environment.” 
The environment was filled with Run-DMC, Isley Bro’s, Spice-one, UGK, Eightball & MJG, Celly-Cel, Ice Cube, NWA, and Snoop Dog, and Outkast. The mix of music was all deemed as Quality in their ability to teach a lesson, as well as rock the song. “A lost art in the music industry now.” While Tequan when to church, school, spent time with family, and handled all necessary responsibilities as business at a young age always found time for music. 

The environment in the neighborhood motivated to his family move to a new home after a tragic occurrence to one sibling, he then resided to the Madison area and went to high school. “Football and Music were my only concerns outside of school.” His music exposure expanded and now was driven by No Limit, Snoop Dog, Three-six- Mafia, Bone, Do-or-Die, Scarface, UGK, Eightball & MJG, Lil John, and Pastor Troy. 
“Every home game, I would sit in my car before I went into the locker room, and bang the shit outa Vicea-Versa!” 
Tequan then enrolled into college and found that he could be put to a test of endurance with the hustle of the music industry. Put out of home, going to school, and working short hours equaled little to know funds to live everyday. He used ingenuity and with the help of other local artists from the “ville” Sossa and All-Star put together a solo mix tape in 2003. “I did what I could afford, I paid for studio time, bought 300 Cd’s, burned them one by one in my room, and sold them on campus. This created a buzz for artist Big TQ come with more work. 
Since then a niche was found and worked on and swore that the next project would be a professional album that would be as quality as the ones he grew up listening too. In 2004 Big TQ crossed the burning sands into the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and became mentally guided into the path of perseverance and uplifting others around him. The “Hurricane” was bestowed upon him by his fraternity and storms out through his vocal style that is meant to destroy all beliefs of artists sounding the same with no versatility. 


Will be known as the worlds best music producer.

Born and raised in America’s music capital, Nasville, TN, De’Andre Davis’ love of music started in infancy. He honed his skills as a writer and developed his ear for a multitude of genres throughout his early childhood, thanks in great part to the exposure his father afforded him. As a teenager, Davis expanded his skill set in the studio by enrolling in Hillsboro High School’s Audio Technology program and eventually earning their Award of Academic Excellence.

Just as in the studio, Davis gave his all on the field as well, winning the state championship and landing a football scholarship to Bethel University in 2009. While away at school, music became Davis’ means of survival and expression. His growing obsession to express his ideas through music lead him to move back home after freshman year to make music his main focus, christening himself 2Four, in reference to the amount of hours spent perfecting his craft. Being a rapper in Nashville has had it’s obstacles, however 2Four doesn’t see it that way. In an interview with Middle TN Music he explains, “This will always be the home of country but It’s growing to become a lot more.”  

Writing everyday and developing his stage presence through endless rehearsals and live performances, 2Four, backed by Juggernaut Entertainment, has been building a solid foundation on which he plans to build an empire. His first single, Lamborghini Dreamin’, was released in 2011, followed by his first live performance at Nashville’s acclaimed BB King’s. Never one to rest long enough to get comfortable in a particular sound, he is always on a mission to find other talents he can learn from and work with to grow his art into a boundless musical journey. “He’s been blessed with a voice that carries a lot of energy and passion, and it melds seamlessly with any style of backing tracks,” raved a reviewer from Hip Rock Magazine.

Inspired by and often compared to Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Travis McCoy, and B.O.B., 2Four is motivated by exploration, enrichment, and creativity. Much like the aforementioned artists who have come before him, his sights are set on something bigger than an LP or a tour. To 2Four, those achievements are just smaller steps in his “1000 step journey” towards what he plans to build — a brand and a portfolio of work that spans across genres and regions.

In 2012 he released Long Hair Don't Care -- The EP, an appetizer of his lyrical skill. Reviewers at Boropulse crowned him, “Nashville’s brand of hip-hop.” After performing at Nashville’s Hard Rock Cafe in the summer of 2013, he followed up Don’t Care with Fast Lane this past October, a mixtape compilation showcasing the evolution of his work over the past year.

2Four is aware that the road to success is not flat; it can be cut short if one is not open to change and growth. Fans and music critics alike have recognized and echoed the same beliefs he has had in his own talents and have continued to support his efforts over the years. SoundCloud summarizes it best in its review of his most recent release, Live It Up: “So what can you expect from a musician so against the grain [of] his music city’s fame? Simple answer: You can expect something against the grain… Stay creative, stay curious, and keep us posted.”
