(Jaquan)
Give us some background info as to who you are.
I am a new R&B soul artist born October of 1986. I am the baby of 5 children born in Austin, Texas. I grew up singing gospel, soul music and playing instruments for the past 10 years.
Because of my roots in church, I was able to tour with Shirley Ceasar in the past. Additionally, I am a music director, singer and musician for several non-profit organizations in our community.
What sets you apart from other aspiring artists?
The fact that I'm an all around musician, who plays different instruments and has knowledge of the levels of vocal skills strongly sets me apart from others.
What is the philosophy by which you live by?
I live by what I believe in and I bring passion to whatever I do.
I have a good work ethic, discipline and humbleness about who I am and the great things that are to come. In all I do, I give thanks to God the Father through Jesus Christ.
Which artists have inspired you?
I have been inspired by many legendary artists who have left great legacies such as Marvin Gaye, Sam Cook, Michael Jackson and Gerald Levert. I am also inspired by the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
Who does your production?
My production is done by Local Production companies: Authenic Productions, Tight-White Productions and G-Man Productions
What is your opinion of the current state of the music business?
The music industry has changed greatly due to the fact that there is no real artist development at the present. I feel that this is a negative aspect of today's music biz.
If you can change one thing about the music industry what would it be and why?
If I could change one thing it would involve adding me to it so I can show the music industry and the world my love, excitement and compassion for music.
Any singers would you like to collaborate with in the future?
I would like to collaborate with Keri Hilson, KC & Jo Jo, Joe, Beyonce and R-Kelly.
What producer would you like to collaborate with in the future?
I would like to collaborate with Timberland, Dr. Dre, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and Quincy Jones.
What is your favorite movie and favorite book?
Breakin is my favorite movie and the Bible is my favorite book.
What are some major misconceptions that you think people have of you?
One major misconception involves the fact that just because I was raised by God-fearing parents and I currently sing in my church, I don't enjoy recording R&B and Hip-Hop music.
What is your favorite part of your live show? How has it evolved?
I love when I am able to connect with the crowd and they react in a great way.
I know it has evolved when you see and hear them singing your songs and really grooving to them.
What is your LP going to be like?
It's going to have a mixture of good relaxing music you can ride to in your vehicle, music you can groove to in the clubs and most of all, sounds of behind the door music to help build relationships and love music for the ladies.
What is your website?
www.myspace.com/jaquan2100
Any final words for the people.
I write and record music to touch people lives through my songs. There is always room for growth in all that I do and I would always want feedback from my fans to become a better artist. What the fans want to hear is very important. In making decisions, plans fail without good advice, but they succeed with the sound advice from others.
