Who is“Jungle Jezus” ?
Being a first generation, American born Jamaican, Jungle Jezus has found his love for music while facing life circumstances. As a baby, the artist was sent to Jamaica, where he learned to walk and talk. He’s even attended elementary school there as well.
With musical inspirations such as DMX, Tupac, Vybz Kartel, Bounty Killer, Super Cat and Tenasa, as well as traveling since a young child, Jungle Jezus has found his style and versatility in the craft. Before facing hard times and having to serve three years in New York’s Notorious Rikers Island Correctional Facility,fighting second degree murder, attempted murder and robbery charges between 2011-2014 which were dropped during his heated 2014 30-day court trial, Jungle Jezus had his first performance in 2011 at New York’s BBKings where he opened up for Anthony B. Following that, he’s been an active performer throughout New York City, with his last performance being at Brooklyn’s Milk River, in 2019.
At just the young age of five years old, Jungle Jezus fell in love with music. It was the sound of dancehall that captured his attention and since then he’s been making it his goal to build his family’s destiny while sharing his talent with the world. Jungle Jezus stated, “Like the Carters, Combs, Millers, Simmons, etc”.
Not only does Jungle Jezus have a love for music, but he finds great liking to poetry and inspirational speeches while playing soccer in his spare time.
Jungle Jezus expresses his love for his neighborhood, Canarsie, Brooklyn and stays true to his roots by expressing it in his music. When asked if he’s looking to stay independent or to sign a deal with a major label, he said, “I’m comfortable INDEPENDENT, but I’m also open to any deal that’s fair and will propel my career.”
Without guessing, Jungle Jezus is here to stay!
