Artistry

J Rabbit has a unique style focusing on creating music for everyone no matter their age and aiming to console people with their music.[5] Their songs are light hearted, relaxing, and up-beat while using unique instruments like bells, xylophones, violins, cellos, and melodeon accordions. An editor working with Seoulbeats, Leslie Tumbaco mentions "They have such a keen understanding of the basics of music, which makes their stripped-down melodies so magnetic".[6] Along with the light hearted songs their performances are very light hearted and fun as well, drawing in audiences and attention with their personalities.
