Hinx Jones is the collective musicianship of producer/musician/emcee Lonegevity, and musician/emcee Gritts. Both members grew up in Anderson, IN, and have been making music together since the late 90’s.

Moving to Indianapolis in late 2008, Hinx Jones has performed over 50 times since late 2009, including the A3C festival (in Atlanta) in October of 2009 and 2010, the Broad Ripple Music Fest (2010-2012), the Indianapolis State Fair (2010) and Mojostock (2011). They have been featured in many publications and music blogs.

The sound of Hinx Jones is unique, as although their primary focus is hip hop, they don’t limit their sound to a hip hop audience. Gritts is the main vocalist and singer of the 2 man group, and also plays drums, bass, horns, keys, and is in band Sweet Poison Victim and The Pork and Beans Brass Band. Lonegevity is more known for his soulful production, and has showcased production at multiple beat showcases/battles (iStandard (2008 & 2012), BRMF (2009-2012), Red Bull, etc), has remixed movie scores, has music in Independent films and commercials, covered Nuvo, has released more than 6 instrumental projects, and has been featured on sites such as The Source, 2dopeboyz, DJ Booth, FakeShoreDrive, BamaLoveSoul and others. He is also the co-founder of Beats and Breakfast with Indianapolis’ Skittz, and is the founder of Bringing Down The Band music blog.

Both Gritts and Lonegevity are a part of Cut Camp.

Hinx Jones’ third studio album slated to drop in 2014 is titled “Soul Hop,” and moving forward the group will continue to fuse Soul music and Hip Hop.
