About Me
At an early age, T'juan was mesmerized by the microphone. Because he did not have one of his own he used spoons, spatulas, toilet tissue rolls, and brushes, and the mirror was his audience. He would often entertain family and friends with his smooth moves and cool style.As he grew up, his passion for music grew. His home was a place where music was constantly playing. This love continued into the halls of his middle school where he was a member in a small male group that kept the girls forgetting about the real artists on the video countdowns. As he approached high school, he found himself in small cliques huddled at the lockers grooving to the latest tunes. This love resulted in him becoming a part of the school chorus which allowed him to get the proper training. It was there that he awed audiences with ballads and entered many local talent shows.It was not long after this that he saw Lil Bow Wow in concert and everything changed. He said "I can do that!" He went from being a balladeer to a rapper. He started to write lyrics and found himself in a new place with a totally new sound. Amazing….Before long, rap became his first love. It consumed his days and nights. Writing took precedence over everything. Before long, he was moving fast in the world of underground hip hop music. He became affiliated with a local record label and ghost wrote for many local artists.Then in 2007, he had an encounter with God that changed his life forever. He walked away from his old music and a starring role in a secular movie deal to follow Christ. Many did not understand his stand, but he was convicted to be obedient to the Voice of God. As result of his stand, he was offered an opportunity to become Vice President of Promotions for No Compromise Records, Inc. Immediately, the CEO took notice of his work ethic, loyalty, passion for music and his heart in embracing and supporting the careers of others. Quickly, he became the right hand to the CEO, and T'juan's efforts helped to quickly advance the company, within months.As he worked, God was still working. Within two months of his new position, he was offered a sitcom deal to play Duece, in "As for Me and My House," based out of Houston, Texas. T'juan relocated to Houston for two months to film the first episode, yet he worked the business long distance, checking in daily. Upon his return to Jacksonville, he was back on the grind working and traveling for the company.In early December, 2007, while just clowning around with one of his producers, Big Boi, he searched for a song that was touching the heart of young people. He then surfed the internet and found the CRANK DAT movement and it clicked. Within an hour, Crank Dat Church Boy was on and popping. It was initially a joke--just two guys having fun--not knowing what God was about to do. This was the birthing of a ministry in a vessel that was ready to be used of God in any way. What was thought to be just fun was really God's favor. It was not his plan, but H.I.S. (His Impacting Savior) plan.In January, just weeks later, he found himself at the 2008 Stellar Awards, and the rest is history. He has been transformed by the anointing of God and is pursuing his divine destiny. His passion for his ministry and zealous work ethic has caused him to excel in his career, all to the Glory of God!
