Bio/Notes: Larry Jamar Knight was born September 17, 1985 in Youngstown, OH. An
unlikely story stands behind the man known by many as “JMartyr”.
Behind the lyrics, a rocky road provides a window of grace he has
experienced throughout his life, with every situation molding him into
the man of God and artist that he is today. Raised by his mother,
alongside 7 other siblings, in a poverty-stricken community, JMartyr
was the only boy with forced him to grow and mature mentally beyond
his years. Despite the odds that had surrounded him; JMartyr was
introduced to Christ at the tender age of 11 and quickly discovered
his passion for rap music.
Shortly thereafter, JMartyr would grow to be a leader in the movement
of global and urban reform in his community. At 13 he began to
minister with a rap group from his local church (E.B.E. Crew)
performing and speaking at prisons, youth conferences, skating rinks,
homeless shelters and wherever, to whomever would hear the Gospel.
Through these ventures many would come to recognize that the passion
and zeal observed was truly a young man with a heart after God. He
later went on to release 3 (self-produced) albums with the group, but
this was only the beginning.
After the group disbanded, JMartyr began to pursue a solo career until
God allowed him to cross paths with an old friend (Stas Shevtsov) and
the rest was history! The two joined forces and founded “The Big Idea”
based off of Romans 12:2, with the vision of refusing to conform to
the culture but rather impact it through the power of the Gospel by
means of Hip Hop music.
JMartyr released his first solo project under the label in 2009 titled
“The Arrival “; an EP that quickly gained notoriety with tracks like
“Got the light” ft Street Pastor and “Crisco”. That same year, JMartyr
released a much anticipated mixtape, titled “Back From the Future”
which has him now recognized by many as one of the most stimulating
lyricists of his time! JMartyr has been igniting audiences with his
bold technique and rhythmic parables for years now and the best has
yet to come! |
