This Sunday’s upcoming Girl, Get Up Podcast episode on April 20th, I welcome a rising R&B talent, Jah Prester.  An independent artist from Queens, New York.  Developing a love for music and dance by enjoying Michael Jackson on television with his dad while watching “Smooth Criminal,” Jah Prester, it is no wonder he naturally gravitated to the spotlight.  Blending old-school R&B with new school hip-hop, Jah is carving a lane by musically sharing his authentic messages of love and romance in his music.  Giving the Girl, Get Up audience his perspective on how icons like Chris Brown, Rihanna, Aaliyah, and many more drove his expression of movement and music, the lessons he's learned from love, and why staying true to your sound is more important than ever in today's opinion-driven music industry.
