For singer-songwriter Projexx, music has always been a universal language. Growing up in Kingston, the recording artiste, born Johni (pronounced John-I) James, was exposed to a wide range of sounds from an early age. As the son of music producer Lloyd 'John John' James and grandson of the legendary Lloyd 'King Jammy' James, he comes from a rich musical lineage. That foundation, coupled with his travels and interactions with people from different backgrounds, has shaped Projexx’s approach to music. When asked why he is drawn to sounds that blend different cultures and genres, he told The Gleaner: “As I’ve travelled and connected with people from different cultures, I’ve realised how much we all have in common through music. I love finding those meeting points between genres, rhythms, and experiences. It keeps the music fresh and allows me to represent Jamaica while also being part of a bigger global conversation.”

Being part of that global conversation has led to the release of his own singles, such as Sweat, and collaborations with international artistes, including Nigerian singer Wizkid on the hit True Love and, most recently, British-born Ghanaian award-winning music producer Juls (born Julian Nicco-Annan) on their upcoming album, Junction.

Set for release in August, the nine-track project is, according to Juls, “Created based on our love and appreciation for each other's craft and brotherhood”.
