J-Five est né en 1983 à Los Angeles, en Californie. Dans la maison familiale de North Hollywood, son père d'origine française, et sa mère d'origine d'Europe de l'est, bercent l'enfance de J-Five au son des Beatles, de Led Zeppelin et des Rolling Stones. En grandissant, J-Five découvre le rap avec A Tribe Called Quest, Nas et le Wu Tang Clan, qui, eux aussi, influenceront sa musique. Il poursuit ses études à l'université de Los Angeles et se produit régulièrement en concert avec les Dusty White. A 21 ans, le rappeur américain entame sa carrière avec Modern Times, un 1er single qui rend hommage à un grand monsieur du cinéma: Charlie Chaplin. Le clip qui accompagne ce titre met en scène l'avant-première des Temps Modernes à New York en 1936 et inclut la participation de Dolores Chaplin, la petite fille de l'illustre acteur. Le 1er album de J-Five, Sweet Little Nothing, sort en novembre 2004.

And it's a
Talent most people should learn
How to
Make you laugh without saying a word
People have to yell nowadays to get heard
But Charlie was a man and that man could turn
Serious, into delirious, he had
A myriad of ways to paint a smile, and
Every woman in the house went, oh
If they wanted to act, they better aact on cue so

{Refrain:}
He hicked the game go figure
Had no time for gold diggers
The Mack daddy of the 1930's, I'm
Kicking back on the couch watching modern times
One more time

Rise 'em up
Hold that thought I got a vision, it's intense
I want a globe I can bounce off of people's heads
And when the earth starts shaking, people will commence
In a laughter, without one word being said
Does anybody here want to hear my voice
Or is silence the golden choice

{au Refrain}

Ladies and gentlemen
Can you hold the applause, the show is about to begin

{Instrumental}

{au Refrain}
