Jonathan Rodriguez, known professionally as JTruthPA, is a 26-year-old Philadelphia native who has been turning heads and spreading positive messages since the age of 13. Growing up in a community plagued with violence, he aspired to use his musical gifts to speak his truth and draw attention to the bright side of the negative situations that many can relate to.
Busking became a profession for him to survive, starting as a kid in NYC and traveling over to Vegas after an opportunity arose from a video that went viral on WorldStarHipHop. As he continued to gain attention, he used his busking as a self-made platform to speak his truth and connect with all who listened in hopes of being a beacon of inspiration and change in the world.
His lyricism, energetic flow, passionate melodies, infectious positivity, and commanding voice give him a unique, soulful sound that vibrates with the capacity to shake the world. As a bilingual artist of Latino descent, JTruthPA believes that in order to change the world, we must first change ourselves. Dedicated to the mantra, “live your truth,” JTruthPA offers his experience as service to others as a mentor with the Hope for Prisoners program, which provides guidance and assistance to the formerly incarcerated to help them reclaim their lives. He is fully committed to the idea that if we embrace the colors that make us who we are, we can create a more colorful, vibrant world.
The daddy of two was a 2020 Grammys contender for his song "Sunflower" and headlined his own show in January, "Light, Love, & Positive Vibes Experience", at the Aliante casino in Las Vegas. Speaking from a place of passion, learning more every day to become a light in the darkest of places, and using his vulnerability as his strength, JTruthPA strives to be a voice for every soul who faces the daily battle of finding balance and purpose.
