Jom Rapstar

I was born April 21st 1985 at OHSU hospital in Portland Oregon one year and 3 months later on July 24th 1986 my younger brother Steven was born that was around the time my father left a family to go find work but never came back until February 1994

during this time by the age of three I ended up living with my great aunt Beverly and my brother ended up living with my great-grandmother Virla whose dog Prince would bite me in the forehead when I was about five or six years old that was around the time of the passing of my great-grandfather Robert Ashley Bussey and this was my mom's dad's dad Virla was my mom's dad's mom during my earliest use of Oregon bounce from Portland to Fairview back to Portland again before on February 27th 1994 my dad came and got me and took us both up to Everett Washington just a week after my great-grandmother virla's passing on February 20th 1994 on March 11th 1994 I got hit by a van on a bicycle while wondering from the apartment complex although I was allowed to ride a bicycle within the apartment complex I wasn't supposed to go outside of it but I did it anyway but yet I didn't look both ways on crossing the busy street and so that's why I got hit. the abuse started in June 1994  when my dad started using a fishing pole on me and my brother by August that year this will start by 1996 or 1995 like late 1995 I would be forced to stand in these torturous positions by my dad and his then wife during my time in Everett Washington I attended Olivia Park elementary School Garfield elementary school and Hawthorne elementary School as well as North Middle School and evergreen Middle School Olivia Park I finish the third grade in Garfield I started the 4th grade and but finished at Hawthorne and I spent my fifth grade year at Hawthorne elementary School my 6th grade years were at North Middle School and evergreen Middle School respectively I went to walterstrom middle school in the 7th grade in 1997 to like the end of January 1998 when in February I started my move to Ohio and by the end of February I was in Ohio but kept out of school for the rest of the year resulting to me having to repeat the 7th grade starting at West Liberty Salem Junior and Senior high School until I was a junior in high school that's from 8th from 7th grade all the way through 10th grade when studying in the 11th grade I intended a vocational program called Ohio high point career center until January 2003 when in February I moved back to Portland Oregon and 2001 I started wrapping but yet by early 2002 it was for being in the household that I lived with my guardians who were my dad's ex-wife's parents who I live with from July 1998 when my dad got incarcerated I've had many stage names stage name starting from j85 in 2001 pimp Daddy Joe from 2001 to 2002 this is all starting in Ohio and I got the name t Joe also when I was still in Ohio and while my guardians forbade rap music all together. it wasn't until 2003 when I moved back to Portland Oregon and started attending Marshall high School when I started recording my voice on cassette tapes and which I gave my original copy to my first demo away to somebody but nothing ever came of it during this time between this time in 2004 or 2005 I was recording a micro cassettes until about mid 2006 when I started recording digitally first using friends studio equipment in by 2010 that I'm getting my own during the time I worked at New seasons market from 2010 to 2010 and then Georgia Pacific from April 2010 until June 2010 and then again from September 2016 till until like April or June of 2021 when I was out of workforce for a bit until February 2022 when I started working at MOD Pizza and Halsey as a squad member and I've been working there ever since. I started going by the name Jom Rapstar in 2007 when originally was a username on MySpace when I was under the name t Joe. Jom Rapstar is now my main stage name

I graduated in Marshall in 2004 and finish the transition program in 2006 in 2010 I released my debut album Jo Miller xposed

and late 2014 early 2015 I was after the deal of the universal music group though the phone call originally was supposed to be about me posted on certain media outlets but yet it turned out that universal music group was offering me a contract in which I turned it down because I knew the $300,000 would be a loan even without reading the contract I know a lot about the business. in 2024 I released mango on a tree just through a trigger the official artist channel on YouTube and plus I've been able to get a blue check on my Instagram and Facebook and x profiles for a fee. on December 22nd 2025 I released a single the Destroyer and which by March 2026 got critical Acclaim although they got the narrative wrong that song is going to be off a new project called emperor Jom which also features the upcoming single looking for love was going to be out in November 2026.

keep in mind my dad's ex-wife's parents were also abusive and my dad was incarcerated because of what he did to me

I also haven't worked full-time since December 2009 and from June 2010 until about September 2016 I didn't work any W-2 jobs at all I just did live performances and recorded music. Since 2022 working at MOD Pizza I tried making pizzas but couldn't do it and I also couldn't work with customers I currently work in the back of the house as a dishwasher and I do restroom checks
also since 2010 I've lived primarily on social security SSDI benefits and I've only worked part-time and made very little money off of music with a maximum royalty check payout of about $400 in one quarter but yet as low as about $35 in a quarter just by playing open mics and gigs. I've also had a hard drive crash on my MacBook pro between mid 2013 and early 2014 when I was a recording hiatus for like finding inner peace and I've also released hang on to tomorrow under the moniker simply Joseph Miller and 2016 and I've also released the land of rock under Joseph kg Miller in 2020 both projects were recorded with just a guitar in me singing. in fact I was working on finding inner peace when I was offered the deal with universal music group. and also mind you the low $35 and the high for $400 was me playing open mics and gigs of 400 dollars was for me playing off of Mike's alone the $35 was for gigs as well as like any amount of royalties in between in fact I made as low as $1 off of streaming and it wasn't until 2002 when my dad's ex-wife's parents strictly banned rap music in the house in fact early 2002
