Meet Ghana’s sexy new Afro pop singer, J Jorm

23-year old singer, J Jorm may be new to mainstream Ghana music scene, but she is definitely no stranger to music. Real name Tina Destiny, she started singing at a young age at her hometown in the Volta Region.

She used to sing regularly in church, at the Ho branch of the Winners International Chapel until she started doing music professionally some two years ago, backing ‘underground’ artists such as Anglado and DJ Soul.

J Jorm has released her debut single, ‘Inspiration’ which is produced by her long time buddy and music producer DJ Soul of Full House Music. 'Inspiration’ is basically a love song about a woman who is in love, and how much the person she is in love with inspires her to do so many things in her life. It has easy and catchy lyrics to sing along, as she flexes her vocal ability on a variety of ranges.

She describes herself as an afro-pop who is versatile with other genres of music. She said, “Apart from ‘Inspiration’, have a new material I’m working on and it should be out next month. The title is ‘Survival’ and I hope the public will respond well to it. ‘Inspiration’ is not out on radio yet but it is currently on a few blogs and the response has been good but I need more people to listen to it and for the radio to play it.”

J Jorm who cited the usual challenges new artists face in promoting their music also added, “I know I can go far with my music career because I have the talent. So I’m urging people out there to give the attention to bring out the best in me.

It has not been easy because of the monetary aspect, getting people on board to help you come out as an upcoming artiste is tough, but we are trying.

Ghanaians should watch out for J Jorm because I have a bigger thing coming out so they should just watch out.”
