The answer is all three. Once in a very long while we get to experience the talents of a privileged few. In JIVE's case he is all of these things. JIVE the Artist is a person who has written very personal songs about his past and present with a hint of the future. His album is a collective Me,Myself & I, a story of a young mans struggle to find his identity and carve out a space all of his own in this shrinking and magical world.
JIVE has always been influenced by great music. His music collection and tastes range from N'SYNC, Britney & Destiny's Child all the way through to Bad Religeon, Public Enemy & Korn. Not forgetting to stop in on the way to Jazz legends like John Coltrane and Duke Ellington while bouncing along to the sounds of Prince, Outkast and the Beastie Boys. It is these influences, listening experiences and lifes hurdles & achievements that have helped shape and define JIVE the artist as he is today.
As an artist on a major record label you can expect to hear his album all over the airwaves in the next month or so. JIVE wrote and Produced his solo album which was mixed by 3 X Grammy Winner 'Warren Riker' and studio hotshot 'DUG'.
With a passion for live performance and film, it will only be a short while before we will also be able to witness JIVE's talents as a performer of the stage and screen. His live shows are frenetic and awe inspiring with moves that will shake the ground beneath your feet………………R U Ready?
