Mark Kiessling – better known as Jumex – is an American rapper, born on 14 February 2000 in Chicago, Illinois USA. He’s known for his punk and rock oriented rap songs.

Early Life

There’s no information about Jumex’s family and childhood, and details about his early education are also undisclosed, except that it’s known he attended the Lyon Township High School. However, his abuse of drugs, his depression and several other personal problems which led him to abandon his studies have been revealed.

Growing up in Brookfield, Kiessling was heavily influenced by the local rap scene. He also developed an interest in rock and metal music, becoming a fan of artists such as David Bowie, Black Flag and the Summer Set.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CIP3LePFcG7/

Although music was always his main interest, Kiessling also became a fan of the Japanese anime culture. His favorite work of this genre is “Tokyo Ghoul”, based on the famous manga (visual novel) by Ishida Sui – the story is set in a world where human flesh eaters – described as ghouls – live amongst normal humans, hiding their true nature.

It’s no wonder why the teen Mark was so enthralled by the series, since the work is characterized by its dark but interesting horror theme, as Guillermo Kurten of CBR summarized it: ‘is a visual feast in its own style.’ (…) ‘The art especially comes into its own when depicting scenes of horror. This is emphasized also both in expressiveness of the characters and the action. Another aspect, while admittedly minimal, is the style in which the cover art of each volume is drawn with Ishida’s style and use of color.’

Although Kiessling might have been influenced by “Tokyo Ghoul” when it comes to the visual aspects of his work, anime in general has inspired his music as well, confirmed by him in an interview with AltPress in 2019: ‘Definitely inspired by the image and the music because anime theme songs have crazy breaks to it, I really like how they just all of a sudden build up so fast. That’s what I try to put in my music.’

Career

Early Steps

Kiessling started his music career in high school, when he became a member of the band named No Signal. Although it’s known the band had a punk style, there’s no information about any music releases or other members.

After leaving high school and band, Kiessling moved to Los Angeles in search of new opportunities.

Jumex

In February 2018 and under the name of Lil Jumex, he released his first extended play (EP) entitled “Luvburnz”, which contained four tracks, and was followed by “Screwed” in March that year.

Although these albums weren’t commercially successful, it took the interest of Taco Bennett of Odd Future, who it took upon himself to help Kiessling co-write and produce his single “Trapped”, released under the name of Jumex, and is based on his own experiences: ‘(it) goes along with being stuck in Chicago mentally when I was 17, stuck in school trying to make music. I felt trapped in a system, basically.’ Bennet also produced the music video for the song, which gained the attention of the media and fans due to its outstanding aesthetic and production. To date the video has more than eight million views on YouTube.

Shawn Jackson from Drillking, praised Jumex for the song: ‘Is something else, a special breed; a mix between some lil Peep and Scarlxrd for those in the rap scene; as his screamo chants could be compared to those of the ultimate king of the emo genre, the one and only Oly Sikes, Bring Me The Horizon’s singer.’

However, on sites such as AlbumOfTheYear.org and RateYourMusic.com the song didn’t attract positive reviews, being strongly criticized by users of both webs.

2019: Loner, Lover & Tour

Jumex EP “Loner” was released in June 2019, including the title track and songs such as “Trapped”, “Alive in My Coffin” and “Billie Eilish”. The latter was not only dedicated to the singer of the same name, but was also promoted as an individual single, and was praised for its aesthetically pleasing video.

This album was special for Jumex, as he found inspiration from his own past experiences to create the songs: ‘“Loner” was about my past life in Chicago before I came to L.A., so that’s like escaping the mentality (of) being trapped in Chicago with the drugs, and it’s never good to be around drugs’.

Although the title track accumulated a considerable number of views on YouTube, the EP didn’t gain the praise of experts or of the online music communities. It obtained a score of 15 out of 100 on AlbumOfTheYear.com, and negative critiques towards the album were abundant on other sites as well.

Despite the negative comments Jumex embarked on his first overseas tour in June 2019, during which he visited various cities in Japan as an opener for the hardcore band Crossfaith.

The tour was especially thrilling for Jumex, as it was one of his dreams to visit the Asian country: ‘This is exactly what I expected. Everything’s so cool and unique. But it’s also crazy how calm everybody is and how chill everything is.’

Finding himself welcomed by the Japanese public, Jumex was re-inspired to continue pursuing his music career: ‘Seeing the audience connect and sing my lyrics is really cool. It’s such a life high. It’s just gonna get better from here.’

Jumex released his next EP entitled “Lover” in November 2019, which contained a collaboration with the renowned drummer Travis Barker for the song “Spraypaint”. However, The EP wasn’t musically praised by experts, though it received fewer negative comments than its predecessor album.

In September 2019, Jumex was the opening act for Yungblud’s concert in Los Angeles, which was followed by a show in November at “Day N’ Vegas Festival”.

Recent Projects

After the release of the video for “Spraypaint” in October 2019, Jumex continued promoting his music until the end of year.

In February 2020 Jumex released “XOXO” in collaboration with his fellow rapper Lil Xan. The event was celebrated with a live concert in Chicago.

Under the name of Goodnightm4rk, in March 2020 Jumex released the EP entitled “Nightmares”.

Interesting Facts

I talk about emotional problems and what people go through, you know like high school relationships.’

In 2019 he told AltPress he had ‘400 unreleased songs’.

Malicious commentators on the internet have described him as an ‘industry plant’.

Past Relationships & Rumors

Did Doja Cat Date French Montana?

In late September 2020, Doja Cat and fellow rapper French Montana were spotted together on a yacht. Although the pair wasn’t alone in what seemed a small party of friends, rumors were quick to arise, and it was speculated there was a romantic relationship between them.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CIGoM3tjTdD/

However on a Tweet posted on 1 October, Doja Cat denied she was dating Montana: ‘Me and French got a song coming out. F*ckin relax.’ She didn’t give further details about the upcoming track, though she hinted that the collaboration also included Megan Thee Stallion as she liked a Tweet of a fan who suggested it.

Although Doja Cat’s words were enough to end the rumors between her and Montana, he didn’t address the issue, as his romantic life was already under public scrutiny at the time. Recently he has faced accusations of being romantically involved with the reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes, who is married.

French Montana – whose real name is Karim Kharbouch – has dated many celebrities and models including Iggy Azalea, Evelyn Lozada and Alexis Skyy. However, his relationship most publicly known to date has been with Khloé Kardashian, whom he dated from 2014 to 2015.

Doja’s ex-boyfriend – Who is Johnny Utah?

Despite being in the music industry for several years, Doja Cat’s only publicly known relationship to date has been with Jacob Sullenger, better known by his stage names Johnny Utah and JAWNY. Although he remains as an indie and somewhat-alternative artist, he has made a name for himself through his characteristic funky music style and singing.

Doja Cat’s romance with Utah – who is also a producer and songwriter – started in late 2019 after she watched the music video for his single “Honeypie”, as she recalled: ‘I liked the way you moved. I don’t know, it was your pants. I was like, Oh, I like your pants.’

Mesmerized by his personal style – though not so much by his music, Utah affirmed – she proceeded to comment on one of his Instagram’s posts ‘I love you babe,’ to which Utah answered: ‘Hey girl, I just showed this pic to my little cousin and I told him that we’re together. Don’t make me look like a liar now. He looks up to me.’

After that brief internet inter-action, the pair met in real life and soon confirmed their relationship. However, they weren’t together for long, as they broke-up in February 2020.

On an Instagram Live, Doja Cat confirmed she had unfollowed Utah on every social media account, also adding ‘everything is ok’ and ‘(it) just didn’t work out,’ as to affirm the relationship ended for normal reasons, and nothing dramatic had happened between them.

Who is Doja Cat?

Doja Cat – whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini – is an American singer and rapper born on 21 October 1995 in Los Angeles, California USA. She rose to prominence with her album “Hot Pink” in 2020.

Amala Dlamini is the daughter and only child of Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer and Dumisani Dlamini. Soon after her birth Amala and her mother moved to New York, where they stayed for five years until their return to California. Amala’s father – who is a producer and actor of South African origin – wasn’t present in her life during her childhood.

Although Dumisani Dlamini often comments on his daughter’s Instagram’s posts, this makes her slightly uncomfortable as she told The Fader: ‘I don’t hold grudges against him or anything in any way, but obviously it’s a little weird’.

Amala Dlamini spent her childhood skating and dancing, though she developed an early interest in music as well. Besides taking Jazz lessons, she was also influenced by artists such as Jamiroquai and Tupac.

Doja Cat

“Music By The Sun” by Rihanna was the first album the teen Amala bought though, which ultimately led her to start singing and creating her own sound. However, her lack of confidence slightly hampered her growth as an artist: ‘I think I wanted to sing, but I just couldn’t because I was so shy’. Amala continued, saying she thought her mother would be upset if she had heard her singing too loudly in her bedroom.

Deciding music was her way-to-go and her true passion, Amala eventually dropped out of high school at 16 years old.

Career

First Steps

Her earliest recorded track on the internet – “So High” – dates back to 2012: ‘I got like two likes, but it was the craziest thing ever. I think I cried. It was insane’.

It was during these early stages of her career when she chose her stage name, inspired by her love for cats and ‘doja’, which is an alternative street name for marijuana. She told Dazed: ‘I was heavily addicted to weed and weed culture, so when I began rapping I thought of the word ‘doja’ and how it sounds like a girl’s name’.

After the release of “So High”, Doja Cat was signed by RCA Records in association with Kemosabe Records, managed by Dr. Luke. This helped her to release her first extended play (EP) “Purrr!” in late 2014.

Rise To Fame

Although “Purrr!” achieved a moderate success, it wasn’t enough to give Doja Cat the recognition she was looking for. However, not giving up on her dream, she continued creating music, and in March 2018 released her first full album entitled “Amala” .

Although at first “Amala” failed to attract the attention of the media, later in 2019 the album was re-released, and her career started rising. One of the new tracks – “Mooo!” – is an unconventional but entertaining cow-themed song, which was inspired by one of her costumes: ‘the shirt was so ridiculous that I was like, maybe that would be cool if I just made a song about cows,’ She told The Fader.

Not only did she create the song alone, the music video was also produced solely by herself: ‘(it) only took about five-and-a-half to six hours. I stayed up ‘til like 3 a.m.’ The song ultimately achieved moderate success, though its music video became viral on YouTube.

Doja Cat next released a remix of the song “Juicy”, featuring Tyga. This marked her first Billboard charting song, and her first certified Platinum work.

Doja Cat’s real rise to fame was soon to come though. The song “Bottom Bitch” was released in October 2019, followed by the track “Rules” later that month. In November, Doja Cat’s new album entitled “Hot Pink” was officially released, charting at number nine on Billboard.

Due to its increasing popularity online – it became a viral TikTok challenge – in January 2020 Doja Cat’s song “Say So” was released as an individual single, and soon enough charted at number five on the Billboard’s Hot 100 list, becoming her first single to reach a place on a mainstream list’s top ten.

In May that year the song was re-released as a remix featuring Nicky Minaj, achieving huge success as it topped the Billboard chart, becoming Doja’s first number one song.

In early 2020, Doja’s “Hot Pink Tour” was suspended due to the contingency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However Doja Cat has continued working hard, landing collaborations with international artists such as The Weeknd, Lil Wayne and Ozuna.
