Born Jiubel Rodriguez to Cuban immigrants, Jaebanzz was brought up in a Spanish-speaking household that encouraged his creative side: “They let me be who I wanna be.” Growing up surrounded by classic rock and reggaeton, he found musical heroes in artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, TrippieRedd and Juice WRLD, the latter of which he calls his biggest influence. “I love the beats that he chose,” Jaebanzz says of the late rapper. “He was a rockstar with a style of his own. I want to be just like that.”

The origin story of Jaebanzz as an artist kicks off the summer after his sophomore year of high school, after he got in trouble for not attending an SAT prep class. Instead of going to school, he schooled himself and made his first song. “I got grounded and my dad’s laptop had GarageBand on it,” he recalls. “I said, ‘fuck it,’ downloaded a beat and made my first song. I played it for my dad later and he said ‘oh shit, this is good.’”
