Many hip-hop artists, both secular and gospel, struggle to establish a musical identity that is both genuine and unique in sound and style. Then there are those who emerge fully in control of their craft, their identity, and their musical style. Jamie Stewart fits firmly in the latter category. His upcoming project, "I'LL WAIT" is a uniquely captivating and heartfelt debut that brings a gifted and significant new sense of how hip hop music can be used to minister to hearts, minds, and souls. A refreshingly unique sound, original in the best possible way, his lyrics provoke a response in both the believer as well as the non-believer. Born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, Jamie recalls, “As a kid I didn’t talk much about how I felt inside. Writing it out on paper, whether as a poem, song or a short story, even by drawing or dancing was how I best expressed myself. I loved songs that said what I was unable to express in my own words." Jamie was inspired by artists like Afrika Bambaataa, KRS One, and Public Enemy. He states “I always liked rappers whose messages were about unity, social change, and who sought to uplift us a people. Todays’ rap is all negative.” Jamie began singing as a child and began rapping at age 15, but never had any interest in entering the music industry. In 1990 Jamie moved to Brooklyn, NY and in 2010 he began to write songs to address the church and the younger generation. With no prior experience or formal musical education he patiently taught himself how to create, and produce his own original songs. Today he is the founder and CEO of JSTUdio Productions/SpeakLife Media; a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer, graphic artist and author. His passion is more for production rather than performing, enjoying being able to reach the world from the quietness of home. The project is a unique blend of various musical styles, making hip hop music wondrously alive and new again. As a new and upcoming artist, Jamie Stewart does more than merely create the songs; he embodies them and lives them out in practical demonstration in a unique and powerful way. With "I'LL WAIT" Jamie Stewart is sure to awaken consciousness within as well as outside of church walls, and set another landmark in hip hop music ministry.
