Entertaining and music has always been present in EL-JAY's life. He began to show an interest in entertainment and music at a very young age, even before watching his father Rome.

Michael Jackson was a huge inspiration in EL-JAY's life as he began mimicking Michael's every move and entertaining others with his adaptation of this well-known artist. That was the beginning of EL-JAY's talents, potential and creativity; truly a raw talent and a true natural. EL-JAY had the opportunity to sing on Rome's independent album "To the Highest", as well as appear in his dad's "People of This World" video. He was also an actor and model at a very young age; and considers writer/producer/director, Tyler Perry a huge motivation to his entertainment career. During his middle and high school years, EL-JAY's physique began to stretch and so did his talents and abilities as he began to break off into playing sports (which he excelled in) and put music on hold. EL-JAY was drawn back to his roots after his first year of college and began singing, writing, acting, modeling and dancing again.

EL-JAY's mother, who has always appreciated her son's personality and character, recognized his multi-talents from the time he was a young child. She supports EL-JAY in higher education and in his giftedness as a singer, actor, writer and model. She has also helped to shape his character and has always been a tremendous influence and grounding in his life. EL-JAY's childhood and teen years were peppered with a number of up and down challenges that have helped to shape him. EL-JAY has made several studio audience appearances on the popular NBC game show Minute to Win It. He has also made appearances in a couple of short films directed by Adam Paul Rodriguez. The progression of EL-JAY's talents and abilities quickly landed him appearances in several major Disney television shows: Sonny with a Chance, Hannah Montana, along with Zeek and Luther. EL-JAY's goal is to broaden his talents in the film industry and to reach the Y-generation as well as the global world with positive music. EL-JAY's current single, "Emergency", featuring Shorty Mack and produced by The Exekutives, is currently available on iTunes and has over 1 million views on YouTube.
