*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Ahh yes the first thing I hear in the ass crack of dawn, not the birds chirping, but my alarm clock.  I groan as it continuously goes off, disrupting the little sleep I was getting. "Why did I get this thing again," I mumble to myself sitting up and leaning over to assault the clock. Once it finally stops I look at the time which reads 6:30. I flop back onto the bed, fully awake now but feeling drowsy.

Remind me NOT to stay up all night when I have shit to do in the morning?🙃

Oh, by the way I'm Jadon Banks, 27years old from Los Angeles, California. I've been an r&b artist for 5yrs. I started out uploading music on soundcloud, some original music, some song covers with my own lil spin. Developing a nice following from there I took it to youtube and instagram. Posting song snippets, studio vlogs, even going live while I'm in the studio to engage with fans as I'm working on music. My numbers climbed more & more and the next thing I know I'm getting contacted by labels-

To which I declined them all.

Now before you ask why I would pass up such a huge opportunity like that, its simple. Yes labels can provide so much but they can take much more from you. It's too many horror stories of artists being screwed over by their labels. I'd rather not even take the chance.

But anyways, on todays schedule I stop by the cruz show, then big boy neighborhood, and lastly the studio. Interviews honestly arent my thing but I made an exception because these hosts are good and genuine. I get we cant sit for 30mins and talk about nothing but music but I'm not the artist that's gonna jump to tell you much about anything else. Like one interview I was asked how I feel about kanye's remarks, I dont feel anything about that man I'm not getting dragged. 🤨

Also some miscellaneous stuff about me, my birthdays on the first day of winter, I'm an incredible dancer, vocalist, ambivert, love video games, wrestling fan, and semi-football fan. I can watch a game just dont ask me what's going on besides the touchdowns.

Finally getting out of bed I head into the bathroom and freshen up. After I'm done in the bathroom I walk into my closet to figure out what to wear today. I finally settle on an outfit and get dressed. Grabbing my purse and my cat cha-cha, we head downstairs. Feeding her first I then contemplate on what I should eat.

Now I can cook, I'd almost like to call myself a chef but it's just a lot. It takes less energy to eat out, but then again that cost money, ugh. I just settle on eating out, putting cha-cha in her cage I grab my purse and head out.
