Jersey-bred J. Fontaine is a former hip hop break-dancer whose early career provided him and his crew commercial success and appearances by his team in music videos. Fontaine experienced the opportunity to showcase his dancing talents throughout Philadelphia night clubs as a paid performer. His enthusiasm for creativity and the hip hop culture played a major roll in the growth and his education as a musician.

While crafting one hand’s talent on the turntables, Fontaine was shaking hands with the other; introducing himself to the music industry’s elite. Fontaine built a network of names that led to his connection with several American Idol contestants who lent their vocals to some of J’s tracks. J. Fontaine, a Pennsylvania-born Italian, knows music goes deeper than superficial standards and has been welcomed into the hip hop community by eager ears.

As a performer and a producer J. Fontaine’s passion runs deep. His stand-out work ethic is solid and his talent is palpable.
