Making Of J. Addo & His Philosophy
Every successful artist has some kind of inspiration. It can be a life event, a thing, nature, or a person. In J’s case, it’s his family. His musical roots lie back in Ghana, West Africa, where his mother performed for him. His mother was a musician and J. Addos truly enjoyed watching her when he was a kid. It inspired him to come out of his comfort zone to chase his dreams. His strength lies in his family – his strong support system.
J.Addo discovered his passion for music when he was in Highschool. It was when he performed in a talent show where he sang for everyone. The love and feedback that he got from them is what pushed him to rethink his life’s purpose and listen to his heart. He recalls the day as truly AMAZING. Since then he has never looked back.
With his unshakable determination, love for music, and vision of making people dance to his music, he has touched the higher side of his craft. Since he took music professionally, J. Addo has shown consistency, hard work, and an openness to criticism as his ingredients for success. “Being consistent is something that is truly something important when you’re trying to chase your dreams, and being comfortable with hearing constructive criticism from peers is also a key growth factor. I am looking forward to the many more blessings coming my way, and with God, Family, and a strong support system, anything is possible,” shared J.
Advocating For Mental Health
Throughout history, mental health has been a priority, and the pandemic has confirmed it yet again! J. Addo firmly believes that “One can achieve great heights and enjoy success truly, only if one is content at heart and has peace of mind!” Mental health is something that no human being should ignore. We should always try to attain and maintain a work-life balance. He always seeks opportunities to spread mental health awareness and how young artists should never fear failure.
Future Plans And Aspirations
Strong work ethics make J. Addo stand out among his peers. His love for hard work, willingness to go above & beyond for his craft, make people want to work with him. These values are also reflected in every other masterpiece he creates.
