The Motivation
“I welcome the pressure to do better. It just makes me better and strong the more I accept it. Plus without it how could I prove to you I’m a gem? ”
-J. Onyx
Minute Man Mondays
Minute Man Mondays started as a way to showcase the abilities of J. Onyx. Growing up and listening to artists like Lil’ Wayne, who was a master at remixing songs, and later having influences like Childish Gambino, Mac Miller, Logic, and Kendrick Lamar, Onyx saw remixes as a way to honor the artists and their music. As a way to show his skills and pay respects to some of his favorite songs and artists, J. Onyx created the Minute Man Monday series. With Season 1 being solely exclusive to Instagram, J. Onyx sought help from local videographer Toan to express his vision on a whole new level. Season 2, has been a way for J. Onyx to express himself in a new light with his team backing him and helping his creativity grow. The future of the MMM series is still unknown but you can keep up with its’ progress and J. Onyx either on Youtube or through his Instagraam.
