In the third chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes, it says: “For everything there is a season/And a time for every
purpose under heaven.” J Moss’s life has been one filled with changing seasons—almost all of them revolving around
music and ministry—and the release of THE J. MOSS PROJECT marks the unfolding of still a new era in the life and
career of one of modern Gospel music’s most prolific talents.
As a third of one of urban contemporary’s hottest production companies, the three-man team known as PAJAM, he’s
been the co-writer and/or producer behind some of the biggest artists in both Gospel and secular music for the better
part of the last decade, including Karen Clark-Sheard, Hezekiah Walker, N’SYNC, Michelle Williams, Trin-i-tee 5:7,
Dru Hill, Boyz II Men and Kelly Price.
But unknown to many, J Moss, the “man behind the mixing board,” is an equally gifted singer and performer, who for
most of his life has prayerfully and carefully sought and waited for his time to step from behind-the-scenes to the
forefront. With the arrival of THE J. MOSS PROJECT, that moment has clearly come, and one listen makes it
abundantly clear it was well worth the wait.
Though PAJAM have built their reputation in large part by cutting a sharp and decidedly urban swath through Gospel
music, THE J. MOSS PROJECT is most notable for its striking stylistic diversity. Threads of hip-hop, modern R&B,
pop, and traditional Gospel are all ingeniously woven together into a work that is cutting-edge contemporary but with a
perfect touch of familiarity and tradition. THE J. MOSS PROJECT is a collection of 11 PAJAM signature songs, as
unique and arresting as they are accessible and always irresistibly catchy.
“I Wanna Be” is a happy, spirited jam, with J recounting all the virtuous qualities to which sincere Christians aspire.
“That’s me affirming to God that wherever it is He wants me to go with this ministry, that’s where I’m going. I want
people to see Him through me.”
The gentle, gorgeous “Unto Thee” is an acoustic-guitar-flavored song of devotion and commitment to the Lord, while
“Psalm 150” becomes a driving urban workout that virtually commands the listener to sing and dance their praises to
the Savior. “I’m Livin’ For You” is smooth, melodic, and hooky R&B, and the album-closing “Me Again,” is a self-
revealing, heart-on-the-sleeve piano ballad asking God’s forgiveness of sin, that builds to a dramatic crescendo,
bearing all the earmarks of a classic-in-the-making.
J Moss, born and raised in Detroit, where he still resides today, also arrives on the performance stage with a highly
impressive pedigree as the nephew of Gospel’s legendary Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, cousin of her daughters, the
inimitable Clark sisters, and son of Bill Moss, Sr., founder and leader of popular ‘70s Gospel act Bill Moss & the
Celestials. Singing since the age of four, at his father’s insistence, while his pals were out making mud-pies and
playing dodgeball, J grew up in an environment where music was the focal point of life itself.
