Jar0me (born Jagen-Jesu Leonard Jerome Ibhadiyi on March 9, 1989) is a Nigerian Hip-Hop recording Artist, Songwriter, and Producer with roots that run deep into the vibrant streets of Lagos and the cultural soul of Edo State. Known by many names — IX (pronounced: 9 or 09 or ZeroNine), k33d, fr3.33 — Jar0me is a sonic shapeshifter who blends raw lyricism with genre-bending production, crafting sounds that hit the heart as hard as they hit the speakers.

From an early age, art wasn’t just a hobby — it was survival. “Art quenched my hunger even when I hadn’t eaten for days,” I recall. Whether trading my meals with my brother’s cartoon sketches or singing for my cousins in exchange for a kobo, young Jar0me discovered creativity could fill more than just an empty stomach — it could fill the soul.

By 2008, Jar0me stepped into the booth for the first time, recording “What You Feel” and later “Me” and “Caution” — tracks that were meant to form his debut EP on 09/09/09. Though the release was delayed due to sharp criticism over language choices and the pull of academic pursuits, the spark never dimmed.

Today, Jar0me stands at the intersection of Engineering precision and Artistic passion — an Engineer by profession, an Artiste by calling. His music is a canvas painted with African grit, global energy, and a fearless commitment to storytelling.

Jar0me made his debut on December 25th, 2022, with his first official EP, Better Late Than Never — a title that speaks volumes about his journey. While most rappers drop their first projects in their twenties, Jar0me took his time, releasing his debut at age 33, proving that timing doesn’t define talent.

Just a few months later, he followed up with his second EP, 0903, released on March 9th, 2023 — his birthday. The three-track project dives deep into his personal story, blending honesty, reflection, and smooth lyricism into a sound that’s unapologetically his own.

With each release, Jar0me continues to carve his lane — authentic, fearless, and right on time.

My signature sound is built on rich three- and four-part harmonies — as a singer and songwriter, I move between genres but always stay true to what feels honest. There aren’t many people making this kind of music anymore, but it’s what I love, so I keep it real.

After years of performing in bands covering rock, heavy metal, jazz, and pop, I took a long break to focus on family. When life brought me to Sequim, Washington — surrounded by ocean and forest — I found a peace I’d never known. I bought myself a Johnny Cash Martin guitar and began posting song covers on YouTube that inspired and healed me.

That experience reignited my creativity, and I took the leap into songwriting. Over the next year, I wrote 25 songs that became two albums.

Ghosted: What a Long Estranged Trip It’s Been (July 2025) explores discovery, recovery, and acceptance through painful estrangement.

The Nature of Healing (October 2025) reflects on lessons learned and the restorative power of nature.

I record everything myself in GarageBand — singing all the harmonies, playing rhythm guitar, Roland V-Drums, and percussion. 

USE OF AI:  I master my songs using eMastered and score them with Chord.ai.  I also use it for additional instrumentation stem tracks when needed.  These are true DIY, “demo-quality” productions — heartfelt and handmade. Someday, I’d love to bring them to life in a full studio setting or even have someone else record them so they can have a bigger audience.

When I perform live, I use a Roland Cube EX amp, my Johnny Cash Martin acoustic-electric guitar, Shure mic and in-ears, and a MacBook Pro running through a Scarlett Solo for backing tracks. Technology makes this solo journey possible, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.

Thanks for listening. Peace. 🌿

With us, integrity first, then creativity. Consequently, we don't publish profanities. Thus meaning we aim to support, by reposting progressively creative and creatively progressive artistry "without explicit lyrical" contents, especially the b and n-words!!
 Best wishes and one love to all.

I've loved music ever since I can remember. I have played numerous musical instruments since I was a kid, the violin being the instrument I was best at and played to a decent level and attended the Royal College of Music at the age of 10.

I've been making music since the days of Mod music / Tracker music on the legendary Atari ST and the Commodore Amiga. The days when CPU resources were minuscule but you could still whack out a decent tune. It was a great time for music lovers and future music producers, DJ's and artists.

As for my taste in music, I'm a huge fan of R&B, Soul, Funk, LO-FI, Vaporwave, 80s and House but enjoy and appreciate almost all genres, although there are a handful I'm not so keen on!

As for my music, my aspergers/autism insists on quite a bit of melodic repetition as you may or may not notice and also a good mix of genres.

Vocals and backing harmonies are mostly self-recorded (a million takes per line 😆), followed by enhancement using AI voice models to change my voice, compensate for natural imperfections and improve vocal output. In other words, I don't like my own voice but I can hold a tune 😁. Autotune is applied, open source post-processing tools are then used, prior to the mastering stage. Artwork is AI because Photoshop takes too long, sowwy!

I hope you enjoy my music and if you do then please feel free to like, repost and comment. I would really appreciate it :)
