JIMI NEWTRON BIOGRAPHY
Charisma, swagger, creativity and fun created who I am, JIMI NEWTRON. My given name is Seatrione Eutsay, but I am known musically as the hip-hop genius because I am a lyrical genius when it comes to my music. On January 23, 1989, I was born in Huntsville, Alabama, while my mother was on active duty in the U.S. Army. Once my mother was transferred to Germany, I was sent to live with my grandmother, in Quincy, Florida, at the age of three. I think that music is a part of my soul because even at that age, I liked to beat on pots and pans, with forks and spoons. However, it was during the next few years that I was introduced to the world of rap music, through the eyes of Tupac. By age 10, Tupac had become the rapper that I wanted to emulate. His style was hard and street, but there was also a true life side to his music. Once I became a teenager, I started to develop my own style. I found that although the beat had to be good, mastering punch lines and metaphors became my obsession. I wanted people to know what I was saying. I didn’t want to be another rapper with a great beat, but saying nothing. I wanted my music to be fun, upbeat and creative, with a touch of swag. That’s when Jimi Newtron was born!!
As far as my music is concerned, I started out freestyling. I became so good at it that I was titled the Freestyle King, in Tallahassee, Florida, where my mother moved to when she left the military. To this day, I still hold the title. Freestyling against the best of the best is how I got my name in the streets. Everyone wanted a shot at the title. This landed me a role on a small television show called FLAT BROKE TV. The rest is history.
