In the quiet suburbs just 20 minutes outside Union, NJ, a rising R&B artist named GROOVY (@groovy.ju), or Ju as friends call him, is making waves in the music scene. Inspired by a diverse range of influences, GROOVY’s sound blends the soulful melodies of a few genres. The Motown-era singers with the energetic beats of the Jersey club scene, the rhythmic vibes of Chicago house, and the raw energy of New York drill.
The journey began back in high school when GROOVY adopted his moniker, a playful twist on Schoolboy Q’s nickname “groovy q.” Today, he proudly goes by “GROOVY,” a name that represents the essence of his music. Full of layers, infectious rhythms, and thoughtful lyrics. However, for GROOVY, music is more than just a career; it’s a medium for self-expression. His passion is rooted in the inspiration drawn from the legendary Michael Jackson. The passing of the King of Pop prompted GROOVY’s father to impart the importance of Jackson’s legacy. A lesson that left a mark on the budding artist.
