Biography

Born and raised in Detroit, JPD has a long and vast history in the music business. It all started back in '92, when JPD (a troubled drug addict, known at the time as "Shank") joined forces with "Poppa Shane", a popular rapper in Detroit's Hip Hop scene of the time (i.e. ICP, Esham, Kid Rock). Together they formed the infamous and now legendary "Mad Trauma". From 92-99, "Mad Trauma" played house parties and underground clubs, in between recording tracks at the now famous "Disc Ltd Recording Studio" (recording studio of ICP, Eminem, etc). In early '96, Mad Trauma released its first and only full length album in existence, the much sought-after "Fatally Wounded" to good reviews throughout the local Hip Hop community. The duo continued to play shows, releasing several singles, until early 99, when JPD became homeless and lived in the back of an '83 Chevy van. Finding himself deeper into drugs and the streetlife after narrowly avoiding a lengthy prison sentence on weapons charges, Jason debated an offer to move to California. Reluctantly, JPD left Mad Trauma in '99 for Cali to start a new project and pursue deals. He grew a strong fan base, which in turn earned him hundreds of gigs. Since then, he's went through numerous changes, and has gone back to his Detroit music roots with "JPD". JPD's back. JPD's back on drugs. Keep a lookout for the release of the highly anticipated album "Detroit Chronicles", from the fucked up and twisted world of "JPD" coming soon...
