Born into a musical family, Apple’s entire family influenced his musical development. In a family of amazing singers, mcs, musicians and producers, Applejaxx was groomed for success and now believes that it’s his time to shine. Growing up, his musical influences ranged from hip hop to rock. “I grew up listening to a lot of different genres of music.” Apple explains, “That’s why today, you might catch me riding to 4th Avenue Jones’, Tonex, P.O.D., LPG, Switchfoot or Lauryn Hill depending on my mood.”

In 1996, Applejaxx began officially rhyming while in Fayetteville, NC. In 1999, he traveled to Atlanta with some friends to catch a performance by Tonex and Camp 8 at New Birth Church.

In 2003, like a divine hip hop appointment, Apple reconnected with Tonex. The vibe was undeniable and after their initial meeting, the two began to forge an ongoing professional relationship. In short time, Applejaxx was welcomed into Tonex’s Nureau Inc. artist family. “APPLEJAXX is one of a kind” States Tonex. “Our chemistry is crazy because we both think exactly the same.” A student of the art form and the industry, Applejaxx graduated from Campbell University in North Carolina in 2004 with a degree in Business Administration. At CU Apple took the stage where ever he could, performing at clubs, in plays, talent shows and any other spot with a mic and a friendly sound man. Applejaxx has shared the stage with artist such as Tonex, Detrick Haddon, Souljahz, Pettidee and Shonlock.
