Jawaun and his other two Brothers (Joel and JaMell) all got a piece of Jewell’s Musical talent, with JaMell being able to Rap along with Joel and Jawaun being able to Rap and sing. Jawaun was Born nearly two months early and almost died inside of his mother. Up until Jawaun was three years old, His mother had to constantly take Jawaun back and forth to the hospital for breathing treatments, pneumonia, viruses, and everything else his little immune system couldn’t fight off. Soon after His birth, Jawaun left his hometown with Joel being in the military it was just Jawaun, JaMell, and his mother and they moved to Austin Texas where they lived for Five years. Jawaun had a speech impediment and could not talk until he was five years old. Before then Jawaun would just hum music all the time. In 2010 Jawaun’s mother Jewell was recording her studio album “My Blood My Sweat and My tears”, where Jawaun was featured and singing the bridge on the track “Gonna be Alright”. Before Jawaun was supposed to go in the studio he snuck in when his mother was not looking and started playing the drums like he had been playing the drums for years, Jawaun only being Six years old at the time surprised his mother and made her happy to see that Jawaun had such a good musical ear at such a young age. Jewell even wrote in her book to Jawaun saying that “You are my Chris brown and even though you’re only six, I think about what you told me the other day: “Mama I’m going to be a star on TV” I could have never imagined that I would record a song with you at the age of six. Keep singing. Mama loves you!”                                                                                                                                             In 2014 Jawaun, his brother JaMell, and his mother moved to Idaho.

The ambulance was able to resuscitate Her and the only thing that saved her life was because her manger was giving her CPR until the ambulance got there.
