Having young parents, J.Beale was exposed to all kinds of music from 60’s soul to Michael Jackson to 2pac. As an early teen he started to develop his voice and constantly studied artists like Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Lloyd & Usher. J.Beale also played football throughout his adolescent and teenage years. As one of Virginia’s top wide receivers, he helped lead his team at Osbourn High School to an undefeated season and ultimately winning the Division 6 State Championship in 2006. After enrolling into college, football wasn’t panning out the way he wanted, so he quickly began taking his music more serious which took his focus away from education.
“I thought why should I stay here if I’m already getting paid to write music. Might as well go home and chase my dreams” – J.Beale

With some guidance from family he ended up going to a studio engineering school called The Recording Workshop in Ohio, not only did this school give J.Beale the title of Certified Audio Engineer, but it also presented the opportunity to work with analog mixing and recording equipment. The experience equipped Beale with the ability to now write, produce, mix, and master all of his own music.
