For some artists, music starts as a hobby. For others, it’s a calling. For J Bish, it began as a freestyle over a friend’s homemade beat—and quickly transformed into something much bigger.

The Beginning: From Freestyles to Full Tracks

Back in 2019, J Bish’s journey into music kicked off in a pretty organic way. “My high school homie was getting into producing,” he recalls. “He was my main man, so I just started freestyling on his beats.” What started as fun quickly turned serious when the two hit the studio and laid down their first track. From there, it was all gas, no brakes. Connections grew, skills sharpened, and J Bish hasn’t looked back since.

Influences that Shaped the Sound

Growing up, J Bish’s musical tastes were as diverse as they come. “Michael Jackson and The Beatles were first,” he says, reflecting on his earliest influences. But his palette expanded fast—into the heavy-hitting sounds of Slipknot and A Day to Remember, and eventually, hip-hop, which he got into around age 12. “I’ve listened and loved every genre in between,” he adds. That genre-bending taste is something you can still hear in his music today.

The Moment It Became Real

For J Bish, music was always about love first. “I’ve been making music because I love it—it was never really about the seriousness of it,” he says. “I’d do it either way.” But when people started resonating with his songs the same way he connected with his own favorite artists, it clicked: this wasn’t just something he could do—it was something he had to do.

The Name Behind the Mic

Wondering where “J Bish” comes from? No mystery there. “It really just came from my first and last name,” he explains. “I’ve been known as that since before I made music.” Authentic, simple, and straight from the source—just like his music.

A Process Fueled by Emotion

At the heart of J Bish’s creative process is emotion. “I always tell stories and try to get something across in my music,” he says. “I really make it when I’m in that mood or have something to talk about and get off my chest.” That emotional core drives every track.

The technical side of things is just as unique. J Bish has a self-described “weird OCD” habit—he only listens to a beat for 15 seconds before diving in. That way, every flow, every bar, is fresh. “I pick a beat that fits my vibe, then freestyle flows and punch in bars to the melody.”

Latest Drop: HoneyPackGang

J Bish’s most recent project is more than just an album—it’s a movement. Titled HoneyPackGang, the project is a collaborative effort built entirely within his own creative community. “I grew a Discord community of artists and producers,” he says. “The whole album is written, recorded, and produced by people consistently active in that space.”

HoneyPackGang is a melting pot of sounds—reflecting not just J Bish’s influences, but the diversity and range of his collective. Expect genre-blending, vibe-switching, and a lot of raw, honest energy.
