JASTIN MARTIN SHARES BREEZY NEW SINGLE “WHY NOT?”

Published

on

Jastin Martin, the minimalist trap-soul singer-songwriter, producer and emerging soulful voice from Houston, Texas, weaves a breezy, positive vibe with “Why Not?” the brand new track and video available on all DSPs today via Def Jam Recordings.  The infectious ballad is Jastin’s first new music since her breakthrough “Right My Wrongs” whose acoustic video performance has exploded with over 2 million YouTube views in its first month out.

Jastin is currently putting the finishing touches on MISS ME YET? her vibrant, rich upcoming debut project, showcasing her vulnerability and versatility as introduced on “Right My Wrongs” and “Why Not?”  Release details of the album will be announced in the weeks ahead.

Born and raised in Houston, Jastin’s family exposed her to a musical kaleidoscope: Bob Marley and Brooks & Dunn (via her grandfather);  Lenny Kravitz and Evanescence (via her mom); and zydeco (via her Louisiana grandmother).  By 16, Jastin was making her first studio recordings.  At age 20, attending the HBCU Grambling State in Louisiana, Jastin first picked up the guitar and eventually taught herself how to produce.  

She began diligently posting original songs online in 2016, building a loyal organic following with her hushed, guitar-lined confessions.  Her soft-spoken sultriness and hard-hitting candidness on early breakout tracks “Again” and “Reassurance” struck a chord with new fans.  “Again,” for example, was a soulful take-down directed at a lying love interest that she wrote in a mere 30 minutes in her car.

“My writing is so detailed that I wouldn’t have to tell anyone a song is about them – they would know it,” Jastin says.  That sincerity graces her posts on Instagram and TikTok, where she deconstructs her songs and offers valuable life advice, too.  Whether she’s writing lyrics in her bedroom, at the local park, or figuring out a melody to a guitar loop from her rooftop complex, the process remains intimate, pure and organic.

“I’ll even cry sometimes when I’m just writing and playing my guitar at the park.  It’s a feeling of emotion like no other,” she admits.  That rawness translates into moody, silky neo-soul that’s as cathartic for her as it is comforting to listeners.  “If I’m gonna give something of myself,” Jastin says, “I might as well give all of it.”

Memphis Recording Artist Flex Jaxn Shares Shares Chilling New Visual For “Drugs To Numb”

Published

By

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Flex Jaxn is an emerging musical talent with a compelling backstory. Raised by a single mother and facing significant childhood trauma, including molestation by family member, he turned to alcohol and drugs at the young age of nine. Diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, he struggled with these challenges throughout his youth. The gift of a toy piano at age 13 proved to be a pivotal moment, offering him an outlet and a means of escape from his pain.
Music became increasingly important to Flex, especially as he grappled with the triggers of his past, which led to multiple arrests and two overdoses. Realizing the crucial role music played in his well-being, he dedicated himself to it, eventually living in a recording studio. Through creating and composing, he journeys into self awareness turning his shortcomings into therapeutic art aimed at helping others facing similar struggles.

In 2024, Flex established D.I.R.E. (Drugs Imitate Real Emotions), a program inspired by his childhood participation in D.A.R.E., to support those battling substance abuse. That same year marked a turning point in his music career when he participated in The Roll Out Experience, leading to his signing by Shawn Barron and a deal with United Masters. He is currently working on his debut album, “10 for 10,” a deeply personal project where each song tells a story from his life, framed through the lens of celebrity drug overdoses. His released singles include “I Cry,”  loose re-enactment of   Juice WRLD’s death, and “Drugs are Numb,” depicting Rich Homie Quan’s overdose. 

His next release, “Heart On Your Sleeve,” will explore the pressures faced by women in entertainment and social media. With his music already featured in several editorial playlists, Flex Jaxn is on a promising path to becoming a significant voice in his generation, offering solace and healing through his art.
