Jamal’s rhythmical tone is a Gumbo of Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Latin, Gospel, Second Line, Rock, Pop, Neo Soul, Classical, Funk and Hip-hop that has inspired and mesmerized people of all ages.
Jamal is a 2006 graduate of the University of New Orleans. Earning his Bachelor’s in music, he is preparing himself to elevate his God’s given talent by way of studying, teaching, and performing.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
I got your message later that evening after you had your performance; I wish I were able to catch you while you were up here! How was the performance? What band? And I guess I'll see you in a little bit. I look forward to the next performance.
