JaYo
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Jesse Owusu. 21 year old American emcee. Originally from Ghana, traveled to America when I was at age 5 and was introduced to music then. I began the poetry part of the music at age 18. Oh and people call me "JaYo".
When did you start using this gift? Was it natural or you had training? When did you start using it to glorify God?
So as I said I started using this gift at the age of 18, however I feel like this gift has been being cultivated since the first time I took a piano class at Victor Litz. It's been years of learning different things about music and style and performance that make me or my music what it is today. I started to make music that glorified God when I realized God was that important! Basically to quote myself "when got healed from an 18 yr cold" LOL
Any past or future projects?
Yeah, so I'm currently working on a project called "Back 2 the Rice" (please don't ask, there is no significance to the title. I just like rice). I've been working on it for the better part of a year so I'm definitely excited about it and it will be available for free DL [download] so make sure you get your hands on one! Some time in June (probably).
Anything you desire to use your gift for in the future?
Hmmm. I desire to use my gifts in the future to contribute to movies! I'm just a movie rat I love 'em and their almost a second passion.
