JAYSTORM  Funk Band from Knoxville, TN

For nearly a decade, Jaystorm has built a following as one of Knoxville's top R&B and soul performers. With full backing band of renowned players, The Jaystorm Project, his music lends itself to live shows better than most chart-topping national acts. As much funk and old-school soul as hip-hop, with a hint of reggae, there's no denying the hip-hop influence on his R&B. The Jaystorm Project serves up a backing band and a booty-shakin' style that accentuates his strong, but yet smooth delivery of slick witty lyrics and bluesy funk sound that is part Motown, part old school hip-hop, with an edge of rock which leaves you with total musical genius. From their classic R&B/Bluesy styles, to the old-school hip-hop flavors he adds to a song and the frequent rock and pop covers he tosses in the mix, Jaystorm on disc and especially live in concert definitely has something for everybody Jaystorm's pride is in his versatility. Having collaborated with rock and hip-hop outfits in the past, he never lost focus on his individual project which has combined elements of hip-hop and R&B and now emphasizes funk and soul to boot. Jaystorm's likability prevails in post-show promotion as the singer makes an effort to meet and thank all in attendance. This is but one staple of a persistent marketing agenda that has and will almost certainly continue to pay off for the enterprising vocalist. With hundreds of shows from colleges, private events, music festivals to sharing stages with national acts under his belt, Jaystorm, front man of the Jaystorm Project, brings 100% of high-energy in every show. It's a non-stop groovefest at best!
