Jaxon was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and was
raised in the south valley area of town. He was
exposed to live music at a very young age from
his father who has been a musician for the
majority of his lifetime. It was through his
father that he was exposed to genres of music not
typical for a Latino family from New Mexico. Many
of the youth Jaxon s age were raised on various
types of Spanish music but this was not the case
for a young Jaxon. He was open to the musical
elements of artists or groups like Stevie Wonder
Marvin Gaye, The Temptations and James Brown. Due
to the fact that his father was a saxophone
player he was also exposed to brass heavy groups
such as Tower of Power and Earth, Wind and Fire
These many influences would serve to inspire
Jaxon in his musical tastes and also in the
creative process and musical elements that he
himself applies to his songwriting and producing
In the later years of his musical journey he
also discovered very eclectic and diverse
artists. One in particular would be Prince
Through Prince, Jaxon discovered an artist and
musician who could play numerous instruments
therefore making him a well rounded producer
This inspired Jaxon to pick up instruments
starting with the bass guitar. Jaxon then
discovered that he loved to sing and realized the
bass guitar was not really a voice accompanying
instrument. This discovery leads Jaxon to the
piano which became the main instrument of Jaxons
musical abilities. He began taking piano lessons
which finally introduced him to the elements of
Jazz. This was a style of music that Jaxon
wanted to learn more about so he began teachings
from a very distinguished Jazz piano player from
Astoria, New York named Stuart Macaskie. The
elements of Jazz were very impressive to Jaxon
which can also be heard in some of his
songwriting and producing. Through his musical
career he has produced and recorded music as well
as performed as a lead singing front man for a
locally popular R n B band. This band has
performed as opening acts for soul music legends
such as James Brown and The Dazz Band. The
timelessness that he has heard in his many
musical influences has inspired him to attempt
achieving that same timelessness in his own
songwriting and producing. Stated plainly, Jaxon
attempts to make music that will stand a test of
time and bring sincere emotion to the hearts of
many.
