Justin "J Farell" Alamar grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and was introduced to music at a very young age. He was greatly inspired by the works of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. As a child, he would play songs by ear on the piano. In years after, he also learned to play the viola and the guitar. J Farell attended Rutgers University in the fall of 2000 and quickly became known as the go-to DJ on campus. He spun at parties, events, fraternity dances, and Rutgers basketball games. He then helped to facilitate hip-hop battles weekly on the campus radio station. It was during this time that Justin became intrigued by music production. He began to produce instrumentals for New Jersey and Philadelphia-based rap artists. J Farell graduated from the Rutgers University Honors College in 2005 with a degree in Fine Arts and began to fine-tune his musical talent. He then studied audio compression and engineering in Logic Studio. J Farell became influenced and intrigued by the musical compositions of Dr. Dre, Scott Storch, J.R. Rotem, Timbaland, Just Blaze, The Runners, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, and Cool & Dre. He thereafter began to work with local rap and pop artists while molding his own style and sound. In January of 2011, J Farell began to produce for the talented Philadelphia artist Dosage who is Lupe Fiasco’s protege. Around the same time, J linked up with Ohio-based artist Erik Paul. The production for these two independent artists began to saturate the internet, and J Farell’s web-presence rapidly accelerated. February 2011 brought J Farell to a new musical standard when he entered a contest for Asher Roth’s “Ash A Cappella 2011”. He released Asher’s song under the name “Frankenstein” and quickly became a contender for 1st place. J Farell came in 2nd to the Blended Babies, but his version of the song, now entitled “More Cowbell”, continued to rack up YouTube views in the tens of thousands. In May of 2011, J Farell landed a placement with Block/eOne/Atlantic and produced an official remix of the smash hit "Twisted" for Gorilla Zoe featuring Lil Jon. This remix was digitally released on iTunes by Atlantic Records on May 23, 2011. In August of 2011, J's commercial remix of Kreayshawn's single "Gucci Gucci" went viral on YouTube racking up over 7 million views in under 12 hours. A week later, the video charted at #7 on YouTube’s Top 100 Music Videos. This remix is widely known as the radio alternative to the original. In October of 2011, J Farell landed a placement with Sony/Roc Nation/Columbia for his remix of J. Cole's "Work Out". This remix was released as the rhythmic alternative version and was instrumental in spreading the single’s popularity to broader audiences. As of January 11, 2012, “Work Out” has been certified platinum by the RIAA. In November, J was introduced to Roman, an aspiring and talented hip hop artist from Cincinnati who could easily formulate quick-witted songs about controversial issues. This producer-artist combination was the key ingredient that brought to life Roman's first EP "The Beginning To an End" as well as a handful of poweful singles. "One Love Baby" was one of the singles produced by J Farell, and on January 1st, 2012, the music video was officially released by film company Magic Rabbit Productions and director Matthew Scott Johnston. 2012 brought new-found opportunities for J Farell. His remixes were some of the most sought-after by over 13,000 major FM radio stations. In August, he began to work together with eOne Entertainment and placed the official remix for Driicky Graham's "Snapbacks & Tattoos". A month later, Farell signed a publishing contract with Atlanta-based publisher Sky Bound Entertainment for TV and commercial broadcasting campaigns. In 2013, Ed Sheeran spoke about J Farell's remix of his song The A Team on The Ralphie Radio Show. His work is noted by an announcer saying the "J Farell" tagline in most of his recent music. J Farell’s songs have been played in rotation on many major radio stations across the world, on Sirius XM radio, on numerous TV shows, and on four major airlines. He has also produced and remixed for artists like Kat DeLuna, Tinie Tempah, Gotye, Drake, Roscoe Dash, Hyper Crush, Eva Simons, Kid Ink, One Direction, Rita Ora, Wiz Khalifa, Cash Out, and many more. Currently, J Farell is spending his time working with labels and producing songs for a new musical generation.
