Anyone can hope for a career in the music industry, but not all can be successful. It takes a lot of effort and dedication to make it big. This is why if you have no motivation, an aspiring artist won't be able to last in such a competitive industry. In JayQ The Legend's case, one of the most renowned musicians worldwide, his past experiences were his inspiration.
JayQ The Legend is a singer-songwriter born in Saint Croix. U.S. Virgin Island, and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. He has always been passionate about music, and he started writing poems and lyrics for his own songs when he was a teenager. The tracks he has composed are upbeat and sure to make his listeners want to dance along. However, the reason why he has always loved music is a heartbreaking tale.
The young JayQ The Legend witnessed his mother being physically and emotionally abused. At an age when his family was supposed to provide security, he experienced the opposite. Beyond all his sorrows, music gave him a world of his own, where he could escape when things were too stressful.
When he was 12, he became a choir member, and there he improved his singing and performing skills. Since rap is more accessible in New Orleans than gospel music, he chose that path to create his music.
His music is recognized for its fusion of pop, urban, and dance beats and its smooth and meaningful lyrics. All songs composed and sung by JayQ The Legend have messages behind them, which have captured the heart of his listeners. He uploads his tracks on YouTube, where he now has more than 15 million views.
Although he has been scarred because of the abuse he experienced as a child, it has also strengthened his relationship with music. In fact, he has even used it as an inspiration behind one of his songs. The track is titled "Amazing Girl", and it serves as a tribute to all women who have been fighting their own battles in their own way. In his case, he's a witness to how his mother survived abuse and how she is stronger now.
The song's uplifting lyrics send a message to women acknowledging their contributions to their communities and the world of their children and families. These women are fierce in their own way, and they fight against injustice.
JayQ The Legend has also released more tracks that have gained global recognition and topped the charts. He credits his success and all his achievements, not only to his innate talent, habits, and persistence, but also to his experiences that shaped him into who he is now.
The inspiration behind JayQ The Legend's booming career and rap music might not be what many had expected. Considering his success and the way he is able to communicate, he's certainly a testimony that you have the power to choose your path regardless of your past experiences.
