800 The Jewell the CEO of Jewell Tyme Music, originally pursued his musical interest by starting off as a rapper in the early 90’s when sampling was the thing. Around this time the west coast was cranking out music that was different and sequenced, 800 was feeling it, so decided to learn how to produce. He purchased a Roland D-50 and began hanging out with his older peers who already had reputations in Colorado Music. 800 soon discovered that he had a knack for harmonious, rhythmic, music.

Around 1993 800 met a F.O.E, V.P. of JTM who was then part of a group called HillTop Klick. F.O.E and 800 worked very well together coming up with concepts that were new and catchy. A few years passed, F.O.E and 800 worked on several different projects separately but shared the spotlight and different venues several times. Finally in 2002, 800 and F.O.E decided to become partners, both coming together making ends meet to make Jewell Tyme a success.

In 2004, 800 The Jewell signed an international distribution deal with Sonic Wave International, and in 2005 released “Only N’ Colorado”, receiving a 2006 Grammy consideration for “Best Urban/Alternative Performance”, following with a second release in 2007 “8thooven”. In 2008 Jewell Tyme Music was voted the Best Hip Hop Label
in Denver, Colorado by Westword Magazine. This was the beginning of a new era of Colorado music.

Jewell Tyme originally started off with 4 artists since has built up a roster of some of Colorado most talented artists. Merging with three other hard-hitting labels Dankside ENT, Thunderstorm ENT, and Bank Head Records, Jewell Tyme has grown to a company of over 30 artists and definitely ready to take on the world. Jewell Tyme is very dedicated to perfection, performance, and quality music; you can tell by listening to the projects they release.

Jewell Tyme is getting ready to release a massive amount of projects this 2009. Be on the look out for anything that says JTM!!!!
