Sound Bites Grill could not be prouder hosting this nationally renowned performing artist.
JJ is a Berklee School of Music graduate, having shared the stage with the likes of Maceo Parker, Victor Bailey, Gerald Albright, Randy Brecker, Shaggy, Ricky Lawson, Sean Paul, Rick Braun, the Marley Family.
He even performed for Sir Paul McCartney’s wedding in 2002, an accomplishment every musician worth his or her salt would give anything to experience.
During his career he has earned numerous accolades, reviewed by:
