Jwords

JWords is a boundary-pushing producer, beatmaker, and performer known for her distinctive fusion of electronic, experimental, and hip-hop music. Hailing from New Jersey and deeply influenced by her Dominican heritage, JWords weaves together the sounds of bachata, Latin jazz, merengue, salsa, and Jersey club into intricate, genre-defying compositions that reflect both cultural tradition and futuristic exploration.

Her fast-rising profile in the underground scene is marked by a prolific stream of solo projects and collaborations. Her 2020 release Velocity spotlighted her signature blend of rhythm and texture, while her work with Nappy Nina on Double Down (2021) and the earlier joint project Ve·Loc·i·Ty (2020) earned critical acclaim for their originality and depth. JWords continues to expand her creative universe with Headspace, her second collaborative release with Brooklyn rapper Maassai, set to showcase even more experimental terrain and introspective themes.

A true gearhead and sound explorer, JWords builds her music using tools like the Roland SP-404, Eurorack modular synths, and Teenage Engineering gear, a relationship that began in 2019 and led to a tour with the brand. Her hands-on, hardware-focused approach brings a tactile energy to her beats and performances, positioning her as a unique voice in the ever-evolving world of electronic music.

With each release and live set, JWords solidifies her place as one of the most innovative and culturally rich voices in the contemporary music landscape, blending her heritage with a cutting-edge sonic palette to inspire and expand what’s possible in beatmaking today.
