J. Spake grew into a producer with heavy roots in jazz and R & B. His father, saxophonist Jim Spake of Memphis, TN, raised him around music from a very early age, both in the studio and venue. J. Spake, too, played sax until he began college at the University of Tennessee in the fall of 2001. His production career began with his acquisition of an MPC 2000XL, which is his mainstay to this day. He’s currently working with MJG’s (of 8 Ball & MJG fame) label in Memphis as well as local legend Playa Fly’s label, Minnie Mae Muzik. J. Spake has worked with many well-known Memphis artists and his future plans include expanding to clientele outside the city in an attempt to create a greater awareness and demand for his unique sound. His usage of sampling has been his biggest feature thus far, integrating all types of music into his tracks. He’s used everything from Stax & Motown to Phillip Glass & German 70s experimental rockers, Popal Vuh. J. Spake is steadily climbing the production fame ladder and soon promises to be recognized as a major player on not just a local level, but on a national level as well.
