rapper. He is of Dominican descent, hailing from Washington Heights, Manhattan

.

Early life

He was raised in the predominantly Dominican section of Manhattan, Washington Heights and went to Norman Thomas H.S.

Career

In 2006, JUMZ debuted his first LP "SIGN JUMZ" thru his imprint Paid It In Pain which was distributed independently. The album underperformed at the mainstream level due to lack of promotions but the following single "Satisfy" became one of JUMZ's biggest hits to date.

In December 2007, JUMZ announced

Paris, France and has garnered him accolades from music industry heads. As a result, SESAC, one of the three leading performance rights organizations in the US, has offered JUMZ a publishing deal.^[4]

Rev Run, LeBron James, and Amar'e Stoudemire

among others.
