He’s just starting out, but people are already hailing 13-year-old singing ingénue Jawan Harris as the next Justin Bieber (but maybe even better)! His amazing voice mixed with a boy-next-door charm make for an irresistible combo! Learn all about this star in the making in his Kidzworld bio!
He Sings Like an Angel
Jawan is just a regular kid, with an incredible talent! He comes from Chicago, Illinois, and says he started singing when he was just 3. He first started catching people’s eye when he sang with his church choir. He was greatly inspired by gospel songs and artists like J.Moss and Karen Clark-Sheard, and he soon started turning heads as a standout talent at his church. Amen!
Here's an uplifting melody from Jawan from a couple of years ago:
Voice Goes Viral
Like anyone talented, Jawan wanted to share his gift with the world, and so took to the internet to show off his amazing talents as a vocalist. He found an audience for his easy, carefree melodic voice right away, and it was only a matter of time before the big leagues came knocking. A label exec came across the young singer’s videos and invited him to the Big Apple.
Here's Jawan's first official single, Nobody:
NYC
Jawan travelled to New York for the big audition, wowed the CEO of ByStorm/Jive Records right away with his incredible vocal skills, and was put on the fast track to success. He was signed just days before his 12th birthday, giving him something to really celebrate! Jawan’s first song working with his label, “Nobody” has already got him fans on a whole new level, passing 2 million views already. His breakout single "Keisha" featuring rapper Tyga is making girls soon across America, and he’s even got Chris Brown featured on the newest single “Another Planet!” Jawan is now getting ready to go on tour, so get ready girls, Jawan Harris is here, and ready to break some hearts!
So what’s Jawan’s advice for his fans? Here’s what he said on Twitter:“Take my advice. Never care about what others say. Just ignore them. If you do that, you'll get somewhere in life. Much love <3.”
