Music artist: Juro
Description: James (born March 10, 1989) professionally known as Juro, is an American rapper, songwriter & producer. Juro is of Dominican descent, bilingual and has a strong passion for art.
Background: Juro was born in the Bronx. He grew up & hung out in the many different neighborhoods of NYC. His stage name Juro means being who you are & derives from the word judo which comes from "jujitsu"& involves using holds & leverage to unbalance the opponent without the use of lethal force. Lyrically inspired by 2Pac, Big Pun, & Eminem, at the age of 11 in the 6th grade, Juro began writing rhymes. At the age of 16, he began recording music.
Juro fell in love with sound since birth & grew up listening to various types of music like Merengue & Bachata, Salsa, House, Techno, Hip Hop Rap & RnB, Reggae, Playero, Rock, etc. He loves to dance & enjoys the dance floor. Being raised by a Dominican family, it was only natural for Juro to want to go out & party every weekend.
Juro has always been into the arts. As a kid, he would draw what he observed around him penciling in every shade. Now as an adult, he paints pictures with his thoughts & illustrates it with wordplay. He believes his flow is a mixture of his musical influences throughout his life. Juro's forte is his lyricism & his remarkable flow.
