Singer, Songwriter, and Hip-Hop Recording Artist J Sunn may have
started out in Compton, CA, but flared up the entertainment space—having been featured on magazine covers and promoting some of the largest Urban clothing lines throughout the United States. Nick Cannon first set his sights on J Sunn and hired him to model his reputed clothing line, “Stop Hating.” This move set him on a fast track with Vlado luxury kicks, Konnect clothing, and Suits of America modeling gigs as well.
Soon after, casting directors took notice and hired J Sunn to play in some
iconic acting roles:
“FIRST SUNDAY” alongside Ice Cube, Katt Williams, Tracy Morgan,
“MEXICAN GANGSTER” alongside John Loretto, Damian
Chapa, and Bougart Linares.
