Performance- Jajuan was a very well-mannered and respectful young man who never met a stranger and showed kindness to everyone. He loved music and developed this love for music when he started playing drums at church when he was six years old. He had a whimsical sense of humor and a smile that would brighten up a room.

He attended Mars Hill College for one year and then returned home and began to work with individuals with disabilities. He later worked for Walmart Distribution and RSI Home Products. His greatest joy and accomplishment was when he became a father. He would proudly say, “Ima be a daddy”. The birth of his son, Dajuan, changed his perception on life which motivated him to strive for a better life for his family in which he demonstrated through his music. He has written numerous songs such as Greatness, Universe and What I Thought, just to name a few.
