Jermaine Montell, also known as Prince-Jj, embarked on his artistic journey at the tender age of 12, when he began performing in local school productions in his suburban Los Angeles neighborhood. It was during this period that casting agents took notice of his youthful exuberance and shining charisma, subsequently placing him in a multitude of national commercials, including advertisements for prominent brands such as Gap, Sprite, Coke, McDonald's, Burger King, Checkers, and Honda.
The bright-eyed adolescent's undeniable "it" factor soon landed him principal roles in several notable productions, including the comedy smash "Sister Act 2" alongside Whoopi Goldberg, the hit television drama "ER", "Boston Public", "Sister to Sister", and a host of others. As a consummate performer, Jermaine began to showcase his talents as a dancer and choreographer, garnering the admiration of many music industry executives who recognized him as a perfect fit to collaborate with renowned artists such as Toni Braxton, Brandy, Will Smith, Brian McKnight, Deborah Cox, and Tevin Campbell.
Working alongside such notable artists afforded Jermaine the opportunity to travel the world on international concert tours, exposing him to a wide array of cultures, styles, and music that he would later channel into his own unique sound. Following years of grooming, Jermaine joined the boy-band Evolution, which gained a massive international following, primarily in Japan. The group's energetic performances left audiences thrilled and excited to see Jermaine's captivating stage presence.
After a year, the group disbanded, and Jermaine, now known as Prince-Jj, was poised to unveil himself to the world as a solo performer. His debut CD, "Disco Ball", under his new moniker, is now available on iTunes and all online stores.
