CjxGotti Is Here To Make Change In The Music Industry
The Indiana raised Artist; Known as CjxGotti was born and raised in Hammond, Indiana where he calls home amongst many surrounding cities which plays a major part in his upbringing into adulthood. The Hometown of Popstar Icon Michael Jackson; Gary, Indiana being one of those cities.
Corey Jhonathon Hill born on April 19, 1997 is the fourth born amongst nine siblings. Apart from the fact that he is a twin, entertainment was never hard to find with such a huge family. His musical journey began young, introduced to the “peace of song” by his beloved Mothers (Lillie Ann Hill) old-school taste and wide variety of music. However, he was highly influenced by his oldest sisters; (Jackilyn Hill) touch in what he calls “culture mentoring by bond.”
(Fun fact: CjxGotti & His twin sister; Cassandra Hill was born on Jacklyn’s 7th Birthday making the three share the same birthday)
His exposure to many genres such as Soul, Funk, R&B, Pop, HipHop and even overlooked genres like gospel and soft rock helped solidify his footprints in culture exposure through music that would later account to CjxGotti’s adaption and versatility in his work.
When asked about celebrity Icon influences in the industry, Gotti states “There’s too many, I wouldn’t even want to blow my mental trying to decide and I’m talking about greats by decade! We’d be here all-day dawg.”
CjxGotti is considered a Hip-hop/R&B artist but creates his own lane by adding a bit of everything to his plate. Starting his music career with his Debut song “Endless Pain” released on September 20th, 2020, CjxGotti expresses lost and gives fans an exclusive listen on what molded him emotionally.
“What would I say to the people listening? Lol I got you, I would want everyone that’s listening now to know that I’m very versatile, I don’t stay in one lane, expect more from me but most importantly expect a vibe every time. Walk with me.” (- CjxGotti )
In an interview late this year (Nov 10th, 2020) on an upcoming podcast show “The cloud chronicles” CjxGotti elaborates his statement and goes on to say “That X in my name is really meant to create space but think of it as a treasure hunt, that X marks the spot. Whatever you want, whatever you’re looking for is right here!”.
On November 11th 2020, CjxGotti released his second single “IDGAF”. Gotti cleverly uses the motto “A perfect day to not give a fuck” behind advertising the track, he explains; “Look, sometimes it’s okay to just wake up and not give a fuck, it’s good for your health, reflect and release, never dwell and that’s what I did on this project. I took myself somewhere else.”
Life for the new hip-hop artist has not been easy, exposed to trials and tribulations in life, betrayal, death, lost love and heartbreak CjxGotti intends to let his fans in a peek at a time.
“Music is therapeutic, it has been for me just listening to it. Now I’m making music and it’s like I want to be healing to someone, I want to be someone’s go to for any vibe they’re looking for. I know someone out there got the same story as me, I just hope everyone that’s listening continue to support me on this journey.”

With “We’ll Leave the Light On,” Troy Landon embraces the power of being there for others
Country music can make hard feelings a little easier to bear, and Troy Landon brings that to the heart of “We’ll Leave the Light On.” The song’s based on the idea that nobody should ever have to feel alone when life gets too much, and it delivers a reassuring message.
This production is key to delivering that message, and Landon gives the verses room to breathe, letting the song’s main idea unfold before the arrangement slowly opens up. This measured movement gives “We’ll Leave the Light On” a natural sense of motion, with the dynamics following the story’s emotional arc.
Landon’s artistic direction also shapes the track’s identity, building a country song that connects the emotions, instrumentation, vocal performance, mood, energy, and arrangement. “We’ll Leave the Light On” is a story about compassion, about community, and about the importance of supporting each other in uncertain times.
This message is rooted in shared understanding, and a national foundation is the right context for it. The song is based on the reassurance that sometimes people don’t need advice or answers, simply knowing somebody is still there can make a meaningful difference. Troy Landon is a songwriter who can turn a simple act of kindness into a long-lasting musical statement, with an inviting spirit and crafted dynamics.

Naomi Jane unveils a statement of independence on latest release “Passenger Princess”
Naomi Jane’s latest release, “Passenger Princess” is a bright, witty indie, country and pop road anthem co-written with Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket that provides a fresh perspective on relationship dynamics. This is a strong cry for independence. Cinematic pop smashing the normal passenger seat stereotype with country storytelling crashing into alt-indie intimacy. Catchy tune, message easy to understand, emotional core you can easily relate to. All thanks to that combination of humor and heartbreak.
But the road trip energy covers up a more complicated feeling, frustration at being next to someone and having somehow been left behind. Naomi Jane examines this tension in a story that moves from diminishing connection to self-possession. Fiddle and pedal steel give the crossover sound a touch of country flavor, and the hook-forward writing helps the core message come across without losing its playful edge. What you have is an anthem of a relationship that understands the difference between sharing a journey and having an equal say in a destination.
“Passenger Princess” works fundamentally because it takes a popular phrase and turns it into a statement of agency and personal choice. It’s a good road trip song, and a good one for those who like songs about finding your voice in relationships with a mix of humor, emotional honesty and country-pop allure. Naomi Jane is a hot reminder partnership is never a loss of control of your own journey. Sometimes you have to ask for the keys and drive it yourself.
