Jonwayne is a rapper and producer from California. His earliest releases were his “From The Vault” series of mixtapes released between 2008-2009. These mixtapes were compilations of songs Jonwayne had created at different points in his life, holding back releasing all these tracks allowed him to release all four different volumes of the series in such a short period of time.

He continued dropping mixtapes up until 2012 where he released a full studio beat tape “Bowser” released under Alpha Pup Records. The beat tape was inspired by iconic Nintendo and Super Nintendo era of video game soundtracks, down to its name coming from the main boss of the Super Mario series and the albums name on the cover being stylized just like the Super Mario World logo. The tape was generally praised for its ability to replicate signature vibes and sounds from Early Nintendo music without relying on samples from those games.

Jonwayne hit a stride of notoriety with his 2013 Studio Album simply called Rap Album One. It was the first studio release to include both his own rapping, and production. A sequel to the album came out in 2017 called Rap Album Two
