J Flex: Artist Who Speaks Multiple Languages Gives Us A Run Down On His Life

My name is Johnny Lugo but I also go by J FLEX. In October 10th 1987 I was born in Salem, Massachusetts. My family is from the Dominican Republic I also lived there for about 4 years. I speak Spanish, English, & Portuguese. Ever since I was young I’ve always been very independent. I started working at the age of ten at a local convenience store. Music has always been a huge part of my life for many reasons. One because my stepfather at the time was one of the greatest merengue singers of all time. I was in and out of studios at a very young age. Thats besides alot of my family members that were also into music. I dream music, I breathe music, its in my blood. I have always composed music since middle school. Poems with the ladies were my thing too. Entertaining is a huge part of me it also goes hand and hand with music. I love to laugh and make people feel good. At the age of twenty I had an amazing beautiful daughter. So I’ve strived for the best ever since, praying something hits. Fast forward to about 3 years ago when I realized I was an excellent entertainer. By the reactions of my social media platforms I decided to work on my craft in and out. Im not just a musician though I do many things. Im a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. I’m also a bartender and server. Acting is my final destination. On thing about me is I’m truly addicted to learning. What ever I dont know I learn. So when I started working on craft I came up with “Just Flexing” its my own brand. What does Just Flexing mean? Just be yourself do as you please. Like Nike you “Just do it” well my way the J FLEX way is “Just Flexing” My goal is to push my brand all over the world and give my daughter and family the life they deserve. Lots more to come! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Prolific Award-Winning Artist Sarantos Releases Emotional EDM Single

Innovative singer-songwriter Sarantos has released his latest single called ‘I Wish’ to benefit Make A
Wish Foundation.

Released on August 2nd, 2022, the new EDM/Pop single by Sarantos combines genres to offer a unique musical experience. Titled ‘I Wish’, the song explores the human need to have more things in life, as the artist also shares his personal struggle with the obsession of always wanting more. Always writing his own lyrics, Sarantos aims to humanize all the emotions and feelings that society thinks are bad, due to which people keep those feelings hidden deep inside. By using his music as a conduit for this emotional discourse, Sarantos sets himself apart in the EDM and Pop music scene.

The Official music video for ‘I Wish’ will be released on August 9th, 2022. The music video features stunning visuals of vast landscapes where a lost man can be seen walking in search of something. According to Sarantos, “This visual signifies the meaning of the song. The man walking symbolizes myself and all the other people, who are always in search of more happiness in a world that seems to be riddled with neverending problems. The man travels to every corner of the globe; from Chicago to Alcatraz, Normandy, Iceland, Switzerland, and India to Australia looking for answers. The dreaminess of the footage mirrors the fluctuation between hope and despair as the suspenseful story plays out. The man’s life is far from perfect, but he isn’t ready for it to end…”

The single continues a string of releases by Sarantos that benefit charity. ‘I Wish’ will benefit Make A Wish Foundation. Sarantos says, “A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. I think this belief guides that organization in everything they do. It inspires them to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much and compels them to be creative in exceeding the kid’s expectations.”
