J. Crum was born in Detroit, MI and raised in Omaha, NE. As a kid, he really just wanted to know who he was. What he was created to be. His father left him when he was young so he was looking for a place to belong. “As a young kid up to my teens I really didn't know where I belonged. I tried to fit in with whatever was popular. I had literally no idea who I was.” says Crum.
When he was 13, a few of his friends started free-styling at the lunch table. “They would begin to beat on the table and people would jump in and start rhyming. Wanting to fit in, I jumped in. That's when I found out I had a gift.” He started to attach himself to the hip-hop culture. It motivated everything that he did. From the clothes he wore, to his thought-process. 'Get more. I don't have enough'. By his freshman year in high school after achieving popularity he still felt empty, like there was something more out there. He tried to find fulfillment in the world, but came up short every time.
At the age of 15, J. Crum developed an infection on his brain. It put him in a 3 day coma. After awakening out the coma, Crum had a powerful encounter with God. He realized that he was on this Earth for a reason. He was on this earth to serve the One that made him, to serve the One that saved him. Jesus Christ. He then realized that achieving his own fame was no longer important. Making the one who sent him famous, however, became vital in his life.
Crum met Mark McGaffin, Pastor of G2:20 and founder of the worship band WatersEdge, in 2007. Mark had a vision of reaching teens of all colors, backgrounds, and creeds for the the LORD. “His all or nothing mentality is revealed in his music and his lifestyle. J. Crum is more than just an artist, but a way of life as he strives to tell others about Christ.” says Mark. Crum and WatersEdge joined forces in the summer of 2008. Combining hip-hop, rock, and indie styles to reach the young generation on all cylinders. He released, The Portrait, with WatersEdge in February of 2010.
J. Crum's singles, Skitzo, How I'm Living, and Refuge from his new solo record “Kingdom Minded” (released 2010) have gained him a quite the following, sky rocketing him to the number 1 Christian artist in the state of Nebraska on Reverbnation. With WatersEdge right behind him at number 2.
J. Crum is still in Omaha serving in the local body, along with pursuing steadfastly after music ministry. Through his music, he hopes to help these lost revolutionaries find their identity in the One who made them.

Thinking bout the times
Thinking bout the way
That we fell in love pretty fine
Wanna take you back to the time right back
Fight that make it work like that
Thinking bout the days
Thinking bout the times
That we fell in love pretty fine
Wanna take you back to the time right back
Fight that make it work like that
I still remember us hangin out
In the lane outside of your house without a pain
Planning out the life that we dreamed of living
Right about the bond and the depth of feelings
Sitting on the cars making out just chilling
While it rained soon enough we got pretty distant
Gotta say I miss those days wanna run it back
You in my arms and charlie in my lap
What a wack how I walked down the road
Clown for sure but I still stood up for the love
I was ready to be fouling out the ways
Every single bet I raised
Every single time I praised you
Shame how it was just a phase
Thinking bout the days
Thinking bout the times
Thinking bout the way
That we fell in love pretty fine
Wanna take you back to the time right back
Fight that make it work like that
Thinking bout the days
Thinking bout the times
Thinking bout the way
That we fell in love pretty fine
Wanna take you back to the time right back
Fight that make it work like that
No ones ever been on my mind like the way
That you been
And I try to pretend that
I don't really care about you now
But the fact that I do
Thought it's us saying "I do"
It won't take a single minute for me
To be Hatin on you
Like you Hatin me
But I know that I can't
Cuz I loved you truly
Though you wishin bad on me
And my low bad doing
Cuz you're too blind to see
All the efforts that I really put in
Being on my knees
But you stood there watching me bleed
And you took away my last girl away too please
And the way she agreed on leaving me like gee
Man I did all I could just to see you happy
Didn't know that it'll get nasty
Come at me with negative I don't give a fuck
Man I loved you to death now I couldn't give a fuck
Thinking bout the days
Thinking bout the times
Thinking bout the way
That we fell in love pretty fine
Wanna take you back to the time right back
Fight that make it work like that
Thinking bout the days
Thinking bout the times
Thinking bout the way
That we fell in love pretty fine
Wanna take you back to the time right back
Fight that make it work like that
