His Jamaican heritage and upbringing in Los Angeles often surface in the rhythms and lyrical references of his tracks. For instance, “Way Up” celebrates self-confidence and ambition, drawing from his experiences as a DJ and producer. In the realm of R&B, JuneDa1st’s themes of romance and emotional vulnerability echo artists like Brent Faiyaz or Jeremih, with whom he has collaborated. Yet, he leans more into upbeat, club-ready vibes rather than slow jams or ballads.
