When it\u2019s not an issue of just an abundance of copycats, there is the issue of simply an oversaturation of talent. But Akheem Spence is not daunted by any of that. In fact, the diligently working musical artiste has his sights set high, and walking in the footsteps of Chronixx, he believes, will get him there.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young artiste, who goes by the name J-Go D Styla, is\nunwavering in his commitment to be a conscious addition to the rapidly\nexpanding music industry. Spence is more than just an admirer of the\nGrammy-nominated Chronixx\u2019s work. He emulates the Spanish Town crooner\u2019s work,\nand though there are elements that connect both their styles, Spence is\nunmistakably unique. And in the years to come, that originality will be the\nwings beneath the young artiste\u2019s wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally from St. Ann\u2019s Bay, Spence relocated to Montego\nBay in search of greener pastures, and it seems that move is paying off. What\nwas initially a move for survival has turned into an opportunity for growth for\nJ-Go, and he has seized it, and has become more dedicated to his craft. For\nthis, Spence is grateful to his uncle, Ronique Edwards, who encouraged the\ntalented artiste to come to MoBay to better his odds of making it big time. His\nlife was made better for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spence knows he will have to pay his dues until he has\nreaped the success he so desires, so until then, J-Go is embracing another\ntalent \u2013 that of being a barber. A testament to Spence\u2019s habit of always giving\nhis best in whatever pursuit he\u2019s involved in, the profession of being a barber\nhas seen J-Go gaining the respect and admiration of many citizens across the\nWest, and if that is anything to go by, his focus on music should reap even\ngreater success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to thank my road management team, Nah Bade\nProduction, for helping me out with my career,\u201d Spence shared. Already, he has\na few singles under his belt, with more, even better projects on the way. Songs\nlike \u2018Have Better For Sure\u2019, \u2018Own A Gun\u2019, \u2018Kotch Yuh Neck\u2019, \u2018Dream Weekend\u2019 and\n\u2018Pagan\u2019 are but a few of the ones that impress from J-Go\u2019s catalogue, and all\nshould check them out across the various platforms. Come the end of February,\nfans and well-wishers alike will be thrilled to know that J-Go will be shooting\na video for his single, \u2018Have Better For Sure\u2019, and can expect its subsequent\nrelease to be just as impressive as the song itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spence now resides in the community of Barrett Town, St.\nJames, where he is laying the groundwork for what should be a very memorable\ncareer. For him, the goal is simple: \u201cI don\u2019t want to be a one-hit wonder and\ndisappear, so I\u2019m putting in the work now.\u201d That\u2019s focus, patience and\nambition, which almost always result in success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spence knows he will have to pay his dues until he has reaped the success he so desires, so until then, J-Go is embracing another talent \u2013 that of being a barber.
