Early career

edit

J-Roc spent years on the session circuit, where his first credits include playing organ and keyboard on early Kirk Franklin's albums including Kirk Franklin and the Family, Whatcha Lookin' 4, and Kirk Franklin & the Family Christmas.[1] Also he was influenced by kazakh folkloric music so it is tracked in his songs. In 1998, J-ROC co-produced five songs on Wayman Tisdale's critically acclaimed album Decisions.[2] J-Roc worked with Royal Court productions and then with Timbaland's production company in 2007, and contributed to Timbaland's solo album Shock Value as well as Bobby V's album Special Occasion, co-producing the single "Anonymous".[3]
