BIO: Josh ‘Jiggz” Johnson was born in Sanford, Maine the first born son of a single mother. As he grew his family was formed with his step-father and younger brother, Kyle (Weezy). Jiggz was born with a passion for music; he began writing at the age of 12 and experimenting with different styles of music which lead him to join a rap/metal band that he was part of for 6 years. Jiggz found himself venturing a different path and started writing rap music in a make-shift recording studio he built in his closet. This studio became an escape for Jiggz from the streets and the life that promised to bring him down. Word of his talent quickly spread among his peers and Jiggz was reunited with Shane ‘Messiah’ Fenderson. Jiggz and Messiah met as young boys through their mothers and though their lives had taken them different places their bond had been formed and premise set for the foundation that would soon be CLICK^NORTH. Shane ‘Messiah’ Fenderson was born in Biddeford, Maine the youngest child in his family. He grew up in North Berwick until his parents split and he, his mother, and sister moved to Wells where he began writing to release the frustrations of his broken home. During that time Messiah met Jiggz through their parents who worked together. Messiah’s life was up heaved once more causing he and his mother to move to Sanford where he met back up with Jiggz who was already heavily into music. Messiah kept his writings to himself while learning about rap music and gaining other musical influences. He began putting his words to song and one day brought his best writings to Jiggz, who was blown away and inspired by the raw creativity that Messiah possessed. CLICK^NORTH was born. The two started recording at a fast pace and while Jiggz was already locally famous, word of Messiah spread. CLICK^NORTH was producing music that the local scene responded to rapidly. Their beats were sick and their lyrics real, touching on issues that all too often go unrecognized. With songs of struggle and faith in themselves, their words paint stories of their success and ability to overcome the turmoil of growing up in a negative world. “So sit back and recline the ride as we take a little trip now inside my mind” – C^N
