A Cordial Conversation with Jae Ace


His clean cut, poetic voice mesmerizes us all. The candid demeanor stands out in every track. When you listen to Jae Ace's music, you are able to escape out of your reality and into his; you feel as if he speaks to you directly. You can put the headphones on, close your eyes and allow the songs to take your through a new journey. Portrait of Hours is a hand held guide by Jae Ace. He never holds anything back and gives you his all. Can the music really get any better?  Let's talk!




BBCs THIS SATURDAY FOR THE ATNPL SHOW, BE THERE!!


Is it difficult to be so open about your personal grief?

Jae Ace: Not at all, I feel every man goes through different situations and sometimes holding in our thoughts could be the worse thing we could possibly do. So I make sure I never bite my tongue in my music. Whether bad or good, I always speak my mind and hope to reach those going through the same situation.

What do you feel you bring to CMG?

Jae Ace: I’m the big brother in a sense. The oldest group member in age and as far as our music I bring a variety of things. I make my music based on my mood, and that brings a lot of different styles out of me. I bring my story, and my talents deliver them however they feel.

People have told you that you are "the greatest." How do you react and/or what does it mean to you?

Jae Ace: First off it humbles me. My first reaction is to thank whomever the person may be because it takes a lot for a person to say that to someone else. To me it means I’m the best I could be, because I am a firm believer that no one man is better than any other. I just appreciate being idolized by someone else because that’s a great accomplishment.

Do you find yourself in competition with your musical brothers when you create songs together?

Jae Ace: Never. Anytime I do a song I never intend to compete lyrically. I aim to make the song the best it can possibly be. I feel I will always hold my own. This also holds true with every member of my group.

You speak a lot about your family in your lyrics; Is it safe to say that family is of high value to show to your fans a humble/human side to you? How important is it to express that side?

Jae Ace: It’s the most important thing to me because when a lot of people go out and chase their dreams they fall into a world so corrupt that they forget what’s most important. Family is everything. Loyalty to them is a must.

Describe the feeling of recording versus actually performing.

Jae Ace: Recording is WORK!!! Lol, honestly it's not too fun…Performing is fun and it gives you the opportunity to vibe with your fans.

At what point do you feel you'll reach the ultimate success?

Jae Ace: Honestly I can’t say. Success is measured different with every man. I just want to be able to help provide a better future for me, my team, and all of our families… after that, I’ll change the world!!!

How do you react to someone telling you that your inspirational lyrics have changed their life or improved their day?

Jae Ace: I take that to heart. That’s what artists live for. The moment when we change someone elses life in a positive way.

What can your fans expect from #LearnU that they didn't get from Portrait of Hours?

Jae Ace: A more fun side of my music, with a lot more punchlines… lol

If you weren't into music, what field do you suppose you'll be in?

Jae Ace: I’ll probably be helping in the community at our neighborhood center, or coaching a high school basketball team.
