Born an orphan JTX gravitated towards music for as long as he can remember. Endless hours of singing along to the radio and watching MTV convinced him to put together a band and start writing songs. He may be a proud product of the Detroit music scene, but his career path has certainly followed more of a Hollywood-style plot line.

After grinding through the regular rock band regimen of rehearsals and high school gigs in Michigan, JTX ran away to Los Angeles and while working at a record store he answered an add to be VH-1"s ROCK N ROLL JEAPORDY and won! The prize money was used to record his first demo that made its way into the hands of rock superstar Marilyn Manson who offered JTX a job as his personal assistant on tour. JTX immediately accepted this proverbial call to adventure.

For a year JTX traveled the globe with Marilyn working hard and writing songs all the way but was fired for trashing a dressing room on the OZZFEST tour . The-now legendary- Manson stint led immediately to another tour offer and this time it was with rock radio giants Linkin Park. While on the road, members of Linkin Park heard JTX working on his music during some “down time” backstage. Even though the songs were only simple acoustic renditions, the band was so fired up about what they heard, they asked JTX to be their opening act for the next show. One show turned into many more and suddenly, JTX was making nightly appearances in front of sold out arena crowds. Following the Linkin Park tour, thanks to that exposure this Cinderella story line segued into both production and publishing deals for JTX. And now, the momentum continues to build.

JTX's first single "(I'm Gonna) Party Like a Rockstar” has lit up request lines and raced up the charts, creating an incredible buzz at radio stations and on the internet! Programmer Kid Kelly at Sirius Radio’s “HITS 1” says, "JTX is top 5 phones... this is a stadium anthem waiting to happen!" JTX has also cracked radio markets and topped request lines in dozens of other major cities including: New Haven CT, Rapid City SD, Little Rock AR, and all over Michigan. It is the theme song for the HBO show "CATHOUSE" . JTX performed in Detroit with Snoop Dogg and Tommy Lee at the Penthouse Magazine Super Bowl party. Sold out shows with Switchfoot, Bowling for Soup, and Unckle Kracker followed,

He has recently been in the studio writing and recording with Unckle Kracker following a tour in Afghanistan to perform for the troops.
