JRo
JaRon Marshall, AKA JRo, is a 19 year old producer/musician from Loreauville, Louisiana, which is a small town located 30 minutes from Lafayette, LA and 1 hour from Baton Rouge, LA. He had an interest in music from a young age, but never really explored it, until at the age of 11, when he joined the band at his school. This sparked his interest greatly, causing him to want a keyboard piano. Once he got it he would just spend time with it familiarizing himself with the keys and notes, and making up melodies for his enjoyment. By the time he was 12 years old, just a year later, he was playing piano in the church he grew up in. By this time he wasn't in band anymore and he had discovered an interest in beats, and realized that he wanted to be a producer. By the time he started college he had become a church musician with a solid reputation for being self taught, yet knowing how to read, write, and interpret music through his knowledge of music theory. When he started college at the age of 18, he was an architecture major, but then he decided that music was his life, and that he didn't want to do anything else, so he began studying music. Also around this time he began to take his beatmaking work seriously, and began making beats for various people through soundcloud, twitter, and through people he knew were rappers that stayed around his hometown. He now has significant production credits and is still working with numerous artists, from both his reputations as a producer and as a piano player. He is young in his musical journey but is in no way not talented, and he is definitely one of the most musically inclined people in the game right now, because of his ability to play piano by ear, by reading sheet music, or his ability to be extremely creative at the piano, whether by making up something on the spot, or by his improvisational skills.
