Jacoby “J.T.” Pender was born into a family of musicians in the rurally located town of Port Angeles, Washington. His mother, father and brothers were all aspiring musicians throughout his life. He credits his family for providing an environment of constant musical creativeness growing up. Although he is skilled with a beat pad or sampler, he is also a capable musician with the keys, guitar and bass.

A typical studio session with J.T. reveals that he can create a track from scratch with any arrangement of instruments and develop it into a published song. As a recording engineer, songwriter and vocalist, J.T. has shown an ability to perform well in all areas of the song creation process.

Under the urban music imprint, GameRunnaZ, J.T. has amassed a catalog of over 10 published albums.
