“When Your Mom Worked For Diddy” – Jittaun Goes viral on tiktok!
Jittaun – A Journey of Growth, Glitter, and Empowerment
Jittaun went viral earlier this month after posting about her mom who used to work for Diddy. But the artist had no idea any one would care! And they shouldn’t because Jittaun is talented!!!
From the tender age of four, Jittaun knew she was meant for the spotlight. Growing up immersed in music, she wrote her first song as a child, and over the years, her passion for the craft only deepened. However, it wasn’t until 2020, when a producer saw the potential in her, that her musical journey truly began. Inspired by icons like Prince and David Bowie, Jittaun’s pursuit of artistic excellence has led her to create a sound that is as dynamic as it is personal, fusing pop with elements of rock and rap. Now, the independent artist is preparing to take the industry by storm with her unique vision and undeniable talent.
From Dream to Reality: A Glittering Debut
Jittaun’s debut single, Glitter, was born out of a pivotal moment in her life. After meeting the producer Doc in 2020, she had the opportunity to record a song that would ultimately define her entry into the music scene. The song’s title, Glitter, reflects Jittaun’s personal journey of shedding toxic relationships and embracing a brighter, more authentic version of herself. “I was so over fake people and just wanted to dust them off,” she recalls. This empowerment anthem showcases Jittaun’s desire to inspire others to let go of negativity and embrace their true selves.
A Pivotal Milestone: Finding Confidence in ‘Move Ya Body’
For an artist, reaching milestones is often an emotional and defining moment. Jittaun experienced this when her single Move Ya Body hit 100,000 streams, a benchmark that solidified her belief in her ability to make it in the music industry. “Being an independent artist means living in limbo,” she reflects. Yet, this achievement propelled her forward, giving her the confidence to continue pursuing her dreams with unwavering determination.
Evolving and Empowering
Over time, Jittaun’s evolution as an artist has been a testament to her growth both personally and professionally. In the early days, she played it safe with her music, creating catchy, surface-level lyrics designed for TikTok. Now, however, her music reflects deeper, more personal themes—infused with wordplay and her experiences as a woman. Whether it’s love, empowerment, or self-discovery, Jittaun’s songs reflect her journey of growth, and they resonate with her audience in powerful ways.
Pop Fusion with a Message
Jittaun describes her sound as “pop fusion,” a genre that pulls from rock, rap, and other eclectic influences. But what makes her music stand out is its emotional depth and universal appeal. Her songs may sound different, but they share one common goal: to evoke joy and empower listeners. She draws inspiration from a wide range of artists—from Prince to Donna Summer to Earth, Wind & Fire—each helping to shape her distinctive style.
Through her music, Jittaun aims to inspire others to embrace self-love, let go of what no longer serves them, and live authentically. It’s a message that shines through in tracks like Flowers, which tells the story of a complicated relationship where she felt she lost a part of herself. By the end of the song, Jittaun reclaims her power, delivering a raw and empowering message to her listeners.
A Hands-On Creative Vision
When it comes to her creative process, Jittaun is fully immersed from start to finish. Her songwriting is an introspective journey, often starting with a feeling or concept that she builds on with lyrics and melodies. She loves experimenting with different sounds, ensuring each song feels fresh and distinct. Her studio sessions are where the magic happens, transforming her ideas into a dynamic, polished final product.
Working with ON-E Records has given Jittaun the creative freedom to explore and push boundaries. As part-owner of the label, she’s proud of the synergy between her values and the company’s vision of positive, inclusive content. Their policy on excluding the N-word in music stands out to Jittaun, reflecting a commitment to respect and authenticity that mirrors her own approach to artistry.
What’s Next: A Global Vision and Uncharted Territory
Jittaun’s ultimate goal as an artist is ambitious. She dreams of platinum and diamond albums, sold-out stadiums, and a global fanbase. With each new project, she’s getting closer to achieving that dream. Her next release will venture into uncharted territory with a dance/electronic vibe, and she’s excited to push her creative boundaries even further. Collaborations with other artists are also on the horizon, as are performances that will allow her to reconnect with fans in person.
Despite her growing success, Jittaun remains grounded, balancing her music career with her passion for social justice and community work. She’s currently involved in Kamala Harris’s campaign, and she’s committed to using her platform for positive change. Outside of music, she enjoys content creation, staying active through dance, and exploring the world of fashion.
For Jittaun, the best part of performing live is the energy exchange with the audience. It’s a moment where she feels fully connected to her fans, feeding off their excitement and knowing her music resonates with them in real-time. Looking ahead, Jittaun sees herself evolving into an even more powerful artist, pushing boundaries vocally, lyrically, and creatively.
As Jittaun continues to carve her path, one thing is clear: her music is more than just sound—it’s a celebration of life, resilience, and the power of being true to oneself. With her dynamic sound, unshakable vision, and unwavering dedication, Jittaun is an artist whose journey is only just beginning.

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
