Stephon Jacquel Watt, better known by his stage name S.J. Dub, is an American rapper and R&B artist whose roots run deep in New Jersey. Born in 1990 in Neptune and raised in nearby Asbury Park, S.J. Dub’s passion for music sparked early. At just 9 years old, he began singing—so enamored with R&B icon Usher Raymond that he often jokes he thought he was him.
By his early teens, S.J. Dub made the leap from singing to rapping, heavily influenced by Philadelphia battle rap legend Cassidy. His raw talent quickly turned heads in his community. Locals would often stop him in the streets for spontaneous performances, a reflection of his growing neighborhood fame.

A meeting with executives at Def Jam Recordings
-
An appearance at New York’s Power 105.1, a major hub for hip-hop culture

Beyond financial gain, music remains a deeply personal and therapeutic outlet for him. S.J. Dub credits his creativity—and time with his kids and loved ones—as essential to his well-being and resilience.
With eyes on future stages in Florida, Texas, Las Vegas, and even the United Kingdom, he’s focused on expanding his reach and inspiring others through authenticity and determination.
