From remixing songs in his bedroom mirror to producing, engineering, and mastering full-length projects, JetBoiDaGhxst has always thrived in evolution. By the time he was 14, he was already deep into music—more fascinated with stereo systems and stacks of CDs than toys. That early passion has since transformed into a self-driven creative path rooted in discipline, independence, and a desire to make timeless music.
“I’ve loved music since I was a kid,” he says. “While other kids asked for toys, I asked for CDs, a stereo system—anything music-related.”
Growing up in Oakland, the signature Bay Area sound was foundational in shaping his early style. “It showed me how to rap and have energy on every song you hop on,” he explains. “I started out making just Bay Area music but then widened my taste and started getting inspired by more artists.” His musical palette expanded to include visionaries like Future, Dom Kennedy, Nipsey Hussle, Bankroll Fresh, A$AP Mob, and Odd Future—all artists known for staying true to themselves while pushing boundaries.
In 2024, after a two-year hiatus, JetBoiDaGhxst returned with two powerful releases: his full-length album ReInCarnation and the EP Asura. Both projects marked a creative turning point, reflecting not just a return but a rebirth—shaped by time spent refining his craft, including studying audio engineering at Full Sail University.
“Those projects meant a lot to me,” he says. “I took the time to reconnect with my roots. I wanted to show everyone that I still had the same energy, but this time, a new and evolved JetBoiDaGhxst had been refining his craft.”
Each release was self-produced, self-engineered, and self-mastered—a testament to his hands-on approach and steady growth. One standout track, “You Wish,” began as a beat he made just for fun. A freestyle hook followed, and the song quickly became a fan favorite. “Sometimes I write, sometimes I freestyle—it just depends on the song. But with the new stuff, I’ve just been having fun with it.”
That independence comes with freedom but also its share of obstacles. Financial challenges, in particular, have been real. “No lie, it was hard for me. I’d travel to LA, pay for studio time, and fund other music business moves. It taught me a lot. I had to get my bag up before I could fully step back into the game.”
Still, his approach to growth has always been rooted in authenticity. “I just try to be myself. I don’t even bring up my music unless it comes up naturally. People end up discovering it on their own and become part of the family.”
Looking ahead to 2025, JetBoiDaGhxst is focused and ready. His goal is clear: reach millions and make music that lasts. Whether he stays independent or links with a label remains to be seen—but the mission remains the same. “I just want my music to connect. That’s always been the goal.”
He’s got dream collaborations in mind, too. “Pi’erre Bourne,” he says without hesitation. And when it comes to what fans can expect? “A lot of singles, visuals, and live performances. My team and I have some big things in the works we’re keeping quiet to surprise the fans.”
He’s had moments that remind him why he does it—like opening for Ramirez in Santa Cruz back in 2017. “Sold-out show. My first stage dive. That night stays in my memory to keep me motivated.” And if music hadn’t worked out? “I’d still be making money somewhere,” he shrugs. “Fulfilling a different purpose.”
But music is clearly the calling. “Be yourself and do what you love,” he tells fans. “I just speak about what I live, and I love seeing everyone win.”
Now based in Florida, JetBoiDaGhxst is tapping into a new energy while staying rooted in California pride. “It’s a different vibe here. I’ve always loved Cali, but I knew I had to leave the West Coast to get where I want to be with music.” As for his favorite artist on either side? He doesn’t hesitate: “Nipsey Hussle.”
