Care to introduce yourself to our readers?

Japhet is a young and upcoming artist who has written and created his own music for the past three years. Growing up, Japhet moved around quite a bit, from Nigeria to Atlanta to Calgary, and currently residing in Texas. This allowed him to be well-versed in a variety of different musical expressions. Throughout his life, he always had a relationship with music, whether playing the piano or saxophone, singing in the choir at church, or recording his vocals at recording studios. He eventually put music on the back burner to do other things. He would eventually circle back to make this a career of his despite the odds being stacked against him. Japhet has been steadily gaining the attention of the industry.
