:({{Find sources|J-Live}})

The subject appears to fail WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Through searching, the artist lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to merit an article. The AllMusic bio cited is basically it and Wikipedia is not a directory. STATic message me! 20:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

:: See this is why Google sucks, 10 pages of results and all I was getting was garbage. Maybe if the citations were present in the article, this would not have been a problem. STATic message me! 04:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
