Country soul, trap grit, real pain, real bars. I’m J.Wayne—preacher-born, battle-tested. I don’t chase hits. I write truth
You decide who will win $50,000, appear in Rolling Stone, and perform at the Global Citizen Festival!
Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
I’m inspired by the grind, the gospel, and the game. Scarface raised me, Ja Rule gave me grit, Bubba Sparxxx showed me country rap had a lane—and I been buildin’ my own highway ever since.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performin’ at the Global Citizen Festival would be a game-changer. Not just for the exposure, but for what it stands for—unity, justice, and changin’ lives. My music tells stories from the dirt roads to the hospital beds, from church pews to street corners. Bringin’ that voice to a global stage? That’s legacy work. That’s purpose.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I’d invest in my vision—build a home studio, fund my next album, and bring the Moonshine Prophecy to life with visuals, merch, and promo. I’d also make sure my people eat—put some toward dialysis support, help the next young Black artist find their voice, and keep Bandit fresh in his Gucci. Every dollar gon’ speak purpose.
