J. Immanuel

Must read bio: My Survival Story, Pt. 1 This is just the beginning...
21 yr. old J. Immanuel (born Jonathan Webb) is a Shreveport, Louisiana native. The multi-talented singer-songwriter-musician-entrepreneur begin taking piano lessons at age 11, started his own online business at age 14, and composed his first piano and lyrical songs at age 15. But at the tender age of 16 years old a future that seemed so bright for this young man suddenly turned dark. He was arrested and charged as an adult for Armed Robbery, and sentenced to a lengthy jail sentence equivalent to juvenile life. Being so young and full of dreams, yet in prison and unable to go after them, he felt like life was just all over. It was the lowest point of his short life. But in the midst of it all somehow he found hope and a future with an ink pen. During his incarceration J. Immanuel began to write everything that had wondered upon his young mind, writing over 300 original songs, several movies and books. He says "One day my dad wrote me and was like ‘Write down all your thoughts and ideas and call it The Vision.’ And that's exactly what I did. Everybody else was doing their time playing chest, checkers, cards, watching football, bragging on past things, drinking coffee, and burning cigarettes. I was burning up ink pens. Every time someone saw me I had a pen and notepad in my hand." He also took the time to begin to learn how to play the guitar.

After exactly 4 years, 3 months, and 18 days behind bars J. Immanuel walked out of prison a free young black man with a positive mind set on success and a powerful Vision that he is confident will blow the minds of everyone it reaches. Currently back in Shreveport and starting his own entertainment label and music publishing company, J. Immanuel is eagerly pursuing one of his biggest dreams: to make a major mark in the music industry and get his Vision to the world. With a powerful arsenal of over 300 original songs already written, J. Immanuel also plans on negotiating with major record labels to get many of his songs in the hands and plans of many major music artists. He describes his songwriting as "deep, words full of meaning and emotion that captures the mind of the listener leaving him/her in a deep thought trance.” He adds “I refuse to release any music without meaning because words are so powerful."

"Lovin' U" the debut single was released on Myspace.com Nov. 1st. It was produced by Al Fraser for www.Smoothbeatsonly.com. "This is just a little something just to set the internet scene on fire” he adds. "Lovin' U" is a song that expresses the way he loved a woman so much and so deeply that the love completely changed his whole life mentally and spiritually. He tells her how her love has healed, refreshed, blessed and completely changed the way he looks at love, life and at God's most precious creature, a woman. J. Immanuel is also working on his auto-biography "The New Beginning". He says "The concept behind my auto-biography is that no matter what your past is, no matter how big of and what mistakes you made in the past, and no matter how you much you stumbled and fell in the past, with God you have the hope of a brighter successful future and a new beginning." As for his movies he also adds "I got so much good going for me right now, I think the movies are something I will bring out of the hat a little later. God has truly been blessing me and sending so many positive things my way. I just thank Him everyday for all the ideas, witty concepts, and blessings he has given me."
