BIOGRAPHY
Fresh out of the U.S. Army, the honorably discharged Jorhel “J Smooth” Aburto hit the ground running. This Los Angeles native first hit the scene as a trash talking jokester on Wilmer Valderrama’s reality TV game show "Yo Momma“, which aired on the MTV networks in 2006. His freestyle rapping skills came in handy and his personality helped him shine among the crowd and gain recognition.
From there, J Smooth began working on a mixtape and performing in local clubs and festivals, all the while working on his first album "Done Properly“ - a double disc with the first cd dedicated to English/Hip Hop and the other to Spanish/Reggaeton. J Smooth's own unique flow of mixing English and R&B to the Latin genre was clearly visible. The album was released in August 2007 and was well received by audiences (both in the English & Spanish speaking communities) selling close to 10,000 copies independently through his own label, 570 Records.
