Folge vom 23.11.2023J Valentine Part 2On this week's episode of The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and Bobby Newt flip the script and interview J Valentine, finally bringing his incredible journey to light. We get the behind-the-scenes story of the struggles, bonds, dreams, and passion that brought J Valentine to where he is today. From street performing on Fisherman's Wharf at just 5 years old, alongside his brothers, J Valentine was living the dream at an impossibly young age. But his viral ascent in the music industry with his group The Newtrons soon came crashing down after family tragedy and loss. Yet even when they hit rock bottom, now barely teenagers, forced to rebuild from nothing, J Valentine and Bobby never lost their drive. Their bond only grew stronger, as did their commitment to the music. No obstacle could break them or shake that dream, no matter what they endured. After rising like a phoenix from the ashes, The Newtrons 2.0 brought us the gift of J Valentine the artist. Since striking out on his own path at just 18 years old, his hits have become the soundtrack to our lives. Now for the first time publicly, J Valentine opens up to give us the full story that made the legend, while looking ahead to promising new projects. Tune in to finally peek behind the curtain, understand the man, and rediscover why we fell in love with that one-of-a-kind voice.
