It all comes down to one thing...Determination! Never giving up through all the pain stricken obstacles and the detearing roads, Juss has fought his way to where he is now. Still developing his craft and perfecting his artisty, Juss is one young man to look out for. He is not just another artist - unafraid to step out of the box and comfort zone, Juss radiates through his over all performance... Triple threat to the world; he song writes his emotions, sings his feelings, dances his passion - sharing it with each and every person he can possibly reach. "I want people to feel what I feel" - Juss At age eleven [11], Juss' mother was murdered on August 5th 1994. She was gunned down in her own home and he witnessed the entire event and yet over comes adversities. Never looking back on what once became the darkest point in his life, Juss will not play vitcim. About ten [10] years later, his father passes away. "I cope by writing and performing. Without this I don't know where I'd be" - Juss By age 18, Juss moved to New York City to pursue a music career. He left his small hometown [Poughkeepsie] to tackle the biggest city he could imagine. He committed himself performing at small showcases and free events. It wasn't enough to hold him financially, so he packed his things and moved back home for awhile. Nothing good came of that. In Feburary 2006, after disagreements with family, Juss took a huge gamble and moved back to New York City with only thirteen [13] dollars left after buying the train ticket to Harlem. He stayed with friends, strangers and even slept in public bathrooms, subways, and unknown business offices. "...I was holding my ground on not moving back home. I couldn't eat for days at a time because I was broke. And when I did get a few dollars I'd buy those $1.99 bags of chips and split it for breakfast and dinner. Water was my best friend." - Juss Enduring homelessness briefly, Juss eventually rose to the occasion and got his life back inorder snatching up jobs at fast food resturants, retail clothing stores and hotels. He put his music to the side for awhile to get things straighten out to survive in the gritty city. "I've been through alot and I wouldn't change the experiences that I've had. I know going through these obstacles - It's for a reason. I can definitely say I'm a stronger individual." - Juss In 2010, Juss is ready to release his debut [EP] Album entitled "Holdin' Water. He signed himself to his own independent venture, Penjot Music Group. He also released his first official single "Is It Me" on iTunes and Amazon.com, including many other downloading outlets. "Holdin' Water" is all about a release - Something that just can't be held. We all can relate to that. Whether it's a good feeling or something bad, we have to get it off our chest. So release it and hold it no longer!" - Juss
