about
Jephté Kweto (professionally known as jev.) is a Congolese-Canadian refugee and experimental artist who currently resides in New York City. He considers himself a loner, a theme that highlights the positive aspects of paving one’s own path. Having lived in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Canada, and The United States of America, jev lacks a specific home city to pay homage to, instead gravitating toward a more worldly and individualized sense of home. As a citizen of the world, he aims to bring people together from all walks of life through his “it’s okay to be different” overarching message and his music, which incorporates various styles and genres, particularly alternative hip-hop, classic hip-hop, and R&B. Inspired by legends like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, André 3000, Nas, YMCMB, and Jay-Z, jev is vying for his own spot upon the Mount Rushmore of the genre.
