“Me, Who Am I?”

JJ was born and raised in Chesapeake, Virginia. Twenty years ago, his family traded big city life for small town living, in eastern North Carolina. (Fun fact, his family moved to the town of Ahoskie, who’s slogan is “the only one.”)

JJ grew up in a musical family. Performing played a big part in shaping his adolescent years, which led him to attend East Carolina University, where he obtained his BFA in Theatre Arts, with a Concentration in Musical Theatre and Music Direction.

JJ loves being on the go and finding something to do, whether performing, playing music, hanging out with friends, enjoying nature, or exploring new cities.
