In this episode of the podcast, Jake welcomes hip-hop and rap artist JNR Choi onto the podcast, speaking to us all the way from Miami. However, his journey started back in the grassroots of the U.K., before one of his breakthrough songs changed his life and enabled him to travel the world with his music and his passion for creating.

JNR was born in London, spending his childhood living in Essex and the capital. Then one day working in his retail job at Topman, an invite into the world of modelling propelled him into the right places and was encouraged to give music a try because 'he looked like an artist'. The rest was history, emerging as one of the most viral and sought-after exports from the UK, with his hit rework, 'To The Moon', which has amassed more than 300 million Spotify streams.

Building on this success and knack for 'right place, right time', JNR has become a respected name worldwide and worked with some of the biggest artists in music, including featuring on Busta Rhymes' new album, collaborating with American rapper Quavo and singer/songwriter JVKE with his songs and reworks. But it's not been smooth sailing to get to where is right now and now being independent after label life, he doesn't like to sit still; it goes without saying this is a great episode!
