Jimmy Adjoto’s story, just like that of Ezekiel and the valley of dry bones, has seen the birth of a new day, where hope is been stretched forth; hence the name J Bones. ‘J’ stands for Jimmy while ‘Bones’ stands for the life that has been restored to his professional career in Music (Jimmy took an undefined break a while ago from which he thought he will never return).
J Bones’ message is of hope, which is why he coined his own genre - ‘hip hope’. He has chosen a path where his music will be an inspiration to others especially his Country- Nigeria. J Bones’ lyrics incorporate elements of faith while also reflecting the prevailing socio-economic conditions around us.
Born on the 13th September, he has successfully set his name in the minds of people with his new song - S.O.S (Save our Souls) - which features “Ex-O”. The song talks about the present day issues that every Nigerian knows and most Nigerians face: the situations we have come to accept as normal while the powers that be - whose ultimate role is to build the nation - look the other way. When asked why he wrote this song he said, ‘I am uncomfortable with the average Nigerian mentality of ‘not caring for our neighbours and the lack of value we place on the Nigerian life. We let ALL be, as long as it doesn't affect us directly. We are concerned about what we get NOW!!’ The musical video for Save Our Soul, which was directed by Tolucci, brought to life - with poignant visualization - the lyrics of the song.
J Bones at different times has shared the stage with Kirk Franklin, Noel Robinson, Bob Fitts and Muyiwa. He is currently based in the UK with his wife and son.
The S. O. S (Save Our Souls) video is currently on X2D HYPE and can be caught on all of our platforms.
