There's a fine line between genius and insanity. In music that line is easily blurred. Yet as easily it appears to be done only a handful of artists have accomplished this and achieved mainstream success & critical acclaim. We often refer to these elite few as 'the greats' or 'superstars'. This group of young radicals who've dared to push the envelope and break the mold in their generation of popular music includes artists such as Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Public Enemy, 2pac, Outkast and now... Juma.A native of Boston, MA Juma has been captivating audiences with electrifying live performances throughout various nightclubs, colleges, churches and other venues around the country: from renowned underground spots such as the Nuyorican Poets Cafe (NYC) to mega churches such as Bishop Noel Jones's City of Refuge (LA), to massive festival events like Bishop T.D. Jakes' Mega Fest. He has been on the same bill as Gospel Music heavyweights such as Kirk Franklin, and has collaborated with some of Pop Music's hottest acts like R&B singer John Legend.Above and beyond the norm, Juma hails as a breath of fresh air in today's music industry where true creativity & originality is a rarity. Not only does his music pack enough funk to make an elephant bounce like a beach ball, but also clearly delivers life-changing & ever impactful scriptural certainties of the Bible through tangible everyday life situations. He brings a much-needed balanced sensibility to the table with commercially viable, clean, yet unadulterated raw Rap music that is equally accessible to all--thug and churchgoer alike. Fusing uplifting messages of hope & faith through Jesus Christ with a hot new sound alien to what you're used to in Hip-Hop, Juma stands alone.With the release of "Blast Music" his independent debut album on Inniss Entertainment, Juma sets out to change the face of music forever.
