JRU STARZ took his audience by surprise with his lively performance at the R&B & HipHop Billboard Awards –snatching the "We hear the future" Billboard Showcase title. The legendary hip-hop artist, Chuck D of the hip-hop group RUN D.M.C, describes in his own words the special performance after the Starz was pronounced the winner: “He won and he did his thing, and that’s what people want to see; excitement, they want to see movement, they want to be entertained”.

Starz has made his way in households through the film industry and to major networks like B.E.T, TV ONE, and CNN with his unforgettable music and acting ability.

Starz gives his fans a special mix of vibrant and heart-felt original music in his newly released album “It’s About Time” now available on iTunes.

Inspired through his own personal pain and trials JRU STARZ wrote a song and titled it, "It's a Shame", to spread the message of peace in his community. The lyrics in this song were so powerful that it soon caught the attention of and became the theme song for the "Hope World Wide" Stop the Violence Campaign. The song was headlined on Fox news & CNN.
