An artist that JG is best friends with and has been making music with for many years is Black Knight. They were both drummers in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Black Knight’s father introduced JG to him at a worship session that JG lead. Black Knight’s father encouraged JG to work on music with his son, who at that time was a 16-year-old aspiring producer.

“The biggest part of my development is honestly Black [Knight]. I never really even recorded before going into his studio, and as mediocre as it looked, we made it sound like we were in a million-dollar studio.”

JG has sung since a very young age, and transitioning from being a background singer to making his own music with Black Knight felt like a natural transition for him. At first JG didn’t take Black Knight seriously, but over time Black Knight has risen to become a sought-after producer.
