J. Long is a vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who has recorded contemporary gospel and R&B. He's formerly an associate member of the RIAA-certified gold-selling group Pretty Ricky. Girl Listen, his sprawling album of contemporary R&B material, was released in 2009 as a 19-track independent project. As a born-again Christian, Long made a transition into religious material, heard on the 2012 mixtape R&B (Redeemed & Blessed). The following year, he married Total's Pam Long. A return to secular music brought the affectionate single "Hit Girl," which was followed by a solo tour, in the year 2015. ~ Andy Kellman
