Applejaxx serves you music like a full course meal from mom dukes. This North Carolina-based emcee focuses on a diverse presentation of artistry and innovation. Applejaxx can give you commercial jams, underground lyricism and laid back joints without compromising the art form. In an industry that has forgotten quality lyrics in music, Applejaxx is now about to feed the world a form of hip hop that will spark a movement.
In 1999 Applejaxx happened to catch a performance by Grammy nominated and six time Stellar Award winner, Tonex (Jive) and west coast rap group Camp 8. That one gig provided all the motivation that Applejaxx needed to spark his hip hop journey. It was time for the Jaxx to start producing rhymes for the fellas to fell and music for girls to move to.
“My approach to music is to impact culture with quality music that can change lives.” States Applejaxx with strong conviction. “I think the time is now for a new movement.”
A student of the art form and the industry, Applejaxx graduated from Campbell University in North Carolina in 2004 with a degree in Business Administration. At CU Apple took the stage where ever he could, performing at clubs, in plays, talent shows and any other spot with a mic and a friendly sound man. Applejaxx has shared the stage with artist such as Tonex, The Souljahz, Pettidee, Grits, Building 429, Deitrick Haddon, and the Tunnel Rats. Recent appearances of note include a nationally televised performance at the MGM Grand with Tonex and the 2005 Pass The Mic Urban Music Showcase in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2003, like a divine hip hop appointment, Apple reconnected with Tonex. The vibe was undeniable and after their initial meeting, the two began to forge an ongoing professional relationship. In short time, Applejaxx was welcomed into Tonex’s Nureau Inc. artist family. “APPLEJAXX is one of a kind” States Tonex. “Our chemistry is crazy because we both think exactly the same.”
Billboard magazine said Applejaxx is one of hip-hops “up and comers” Applejaxx has appeared on Tonex: Out the Box album, Higher Ground soundtrack and has recently released his debut EP: 805 P.O.P. With the smash tracks 805, Get Ready and Memories creating solid radio buzz around the nation; you can bet that it’s only a matter of time before the world will be eating a full bowl of musical APPLEJAXX.
