Born and raised in Milwaukee, the 24 year old, smooth R&B crooner known as BJ has come a long way from the middle school kid who was sure if he wanted to sing or play basketball. At age 15, BJ moved to Atlanta where he got his professional start as a member of the group Reign. At the time, members of the group Jagged Edge were writing songs for Reign but they were particularly impressed with BJ’s innate vocal ability. Although BJ’s experience with Noontime Records didn’t work out he was able to meet the group Jagged Edge and their influence has helped mold him into the phenomenal talent he is now. The twins of Jagged Edge have embraced BJ as their little brother and he continues to work with them on some of his current projects. BJ is not only an incredible vocalist, he also writes most of his own lyrics along with his writing partner Rico Love. BJ has recorded with some of today’s hottest producers including, Jazze Pha, the Corna Boys, Jagged Edge and Petey Pablo.
