Los Angeles-based artist J-Extra, born Joshua Woods, delivers vulnerability with polish on his latest release “Missed the Signal”—a track that blends introspective lyrics with crisp, melodic production. Released in May, the single captures moments of emotional disconnect and miscommunication, showing J-Extra’s thoughtful pen game and ability to bring personal stories to life through music.

Hailing from Northridge, California, J-Extra cites influences that align with the sharp storytelling of J. Cole, the smooth versatility of Drake, and the wordplay finesse of Big Sean—though his sound is carving its own lane with each drop.

And the momentum isn’t slowing. J-Extra will release his new song “Favor On Em,” soon, a follow-up that continues to showcase his growth and duality—balancing lyrical depth with commercial appeal.
