"From the first day I hit the airwaves here in Toronto I fell in love
with the sound of the city and the Toronto Urban Music scene has become
my passion! I’m very excited about the website and it’s potential to
open the way and further even more success stories this year!". JJ is now the

Launch Party review by Jonathon “Bizz” Brown
If I walked
away from last night’s launch party for JJisJeni.com with one comment it
is this: it honestly felt like there was an urban music industry last
night. Why? To be honest, I’m still trying hard to understand it myself.
It just felt like a
moment.
Typically “industry parties” come off more
“industry”
than “party.” And by that I mean everyone knows who they are and what
they came to do (usually perform) and that is the beginning and end of
their contribution to the evening’s mood. Not last night. It was a house
full of people worth shaking hands with and they were there with open
minds, open eyes and Toronto’s charisma in their step. From media to
radio personalities to artists to producers to people like me who are as
much fans of the culture as they are cultivators of it… it was a
dynamic, up beat and powerful crowd. If you walked in off Mars last
night, you’d swear that club was full of multi-platinum artists
celebrating their success. And I think there lies the distinction.
Everyone felt like they were genuinely partying, socializing,
celebrating themselves and each other...
