While speaking of ‘Stoned On a Plane,’ Jet Plane told RemixdMag the reason he created it.
“I was at a really down point in life, but then life started changing fast, opportunities started happening out of nowhere, my mindset was changing for the better,” he said. “This project is like a musical expression of the journey upward, shedding all the BS of life off you. Sticking to the positive and just accepting that life is life and we all gonna be gone one day so I’m gonna express myself to my fullest extent.”

My real name is Jaylen Johnson & my artist name is Jet Plane. I got it from the cartoon JJ the Jet Plane and kinda just stuck with it. It seems to fit with my style of music. Plus I’m a huge fan of Jet Life.
How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?
I definitely would say I give off a stoner music type of vibe, I hope you like strings & bass. But I don’t just always talk about getting blazed all the time. Sometimes I’ll get emotional or introspective over some chill beats.
What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you?
Music is my one true outlet in life. It’s like my therapy. No matter what is going on in my life, good or bad, I can always let it out through making a song and that is an ability I have that I cherish greatly. Family is a big inspiration for me & I don’t want to make things sad but I have a few people whom I was very close with that passed away & they are some of my greatest inspirations in life.

If I had to say a Top 5 in no exact order; Curren$y, Takeoff, Erykah Badu, P Diddy, Lil Wayne

I don’t have any dates set to release anything at the moment but I’m always working on my sound. I’ve been experimenting with slower more R&B type vibes so that’ll probably be what’s coming next. I’m also trying to work on collaborating more. I’ve got somethings in the works with a few dope artists I can’t wait for people to hear.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from this project?
I just hope that some songs connect with some of you. All I’m doing is expressing myself at the end of the day so hopefully you’ll get to learn a little more about me and my journey, while listening to some great tunes.
