Inspirational R&B Star.... JUE

Jue

            Jue, born and raised in Mobile Alabama, April 26^th 1990, is an African American singer/songwriter who also enjoys playing the piano and drums. He is a brother of 14 siblings as well as a proud father. With Gods gift and the support of his parents Sharon and Benjamin Bracy, he possess the incredible ability to sing, write and perform.

            

           The name Jue stemmed from his understanding in life. Jerrick being the name given to him at birth he added a U.E to it making it JUE, an acronym (Jerrick, Understands, Everything) He strives to understand everything that goes on in life, young and old, everyday struggles and hardship. JUE defines him.

             

At age 10 his mother bought him a toy keyboard. During bible studies held in his home for the neighborhood, he was exposed to “church” music and where he would begin to play his keyboard.  His lack of knowledge with music invigorated his desire to learn how to play even more. He taught himself by listening to other piano players and practicing daily, sun up to sun down.  Inspired musically by Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke, Al Green, Marvin Gay, Zapp and Roger, Whitney Houston, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Akon and many more talented artists. Ultimately Michael Jackson was the world’s best performer to him, giving him hope, because despite Jackson’s obstacles, he still made hit songs and was a musical genius. “I love how he rock the shows for all people,” says Jue while grinning.

October 2011 changed his musical life forever. Jue opened up for Jill Scott on the Wind Creek Casino stage at BayFest, the true beginning of something big. Jue shortly after, met radio personality NinaRawz, where she recruited him to Rawz Entertainment Music Management and became his manager. Jue is currently working with Jay Trill Studios on more inspirational hits for his upcoming EP. Outside of the studio, you will either catch him in the Bell Air Mall Playing for Mall-goers, or being a family man. Jue knows that with the help of God, he can become the best inspirational songwriter and artist ever.  “Thank You God through you I am able to sing, write, play and perform the way I do.”

Justice for Trayvon Martin

The FBI is now examining 911 tapes, which include a possible racial slur muttered by Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, 28. Martin was black, Zimmerman is not.

Zimmerman, a neighborhood crime watch volunteer, reportedly has admitted to pursuing Martin, confronting him and, after a scuffle, shooting him dead. Zimmerman has claimed the shooting was in self defense.

Martin was carrying only a bag of Skittles, iced tea and his cell phone when Zimmerman allegedly killed him on Feb. 26. While Martin's family has repeatedly called for his arrest, Sanford police accepted and stood by Zimmerman's claim of self defense.

But it's not just the mayor, or the conduct of the police officers, that is being questioned.

Sanford, Fla., Police Chief Bill Lee is stepping down "temporarily" after the shooting death of an unarmed teen, Trayvon Martin.

"It is apparent that my involvement in this matter is overshadowing the process," Lee told reporters, adding that it had become "a distraction from temporarily withdrawing from running the department and the investigation into the 17-year-old Martin's death at the hands of a neighborhood watchman, Lee said he stood by the investigation and the officers involved..


"The actual killing of Martin is tragic and what it hit a chord on in America is the ongoing systemic problems between law enforcement and the black community," he said.

Thousands of people are expected to attend a rally organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton to demand Zimmerman's arrest. Because of current racial tensions, security is expected to be intense.

"It's an opportunity to say in America we are going to change the face of racism," said Bonaparte. "This is terrible, but let's see what we can learn from this…"

He added, "What the city of Sanford wants more than anything else for the family of Trayvon Martin is justice."

The resignation follows a heated special meeting of Sanford city commissioners Wednesday night, at which the body voted "no confidence" in Chief Lee.

"The unknown in a tragedy will make the heart do crazy things, and we haven't done a good job of getting out in front of that," said Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett after the vote. "I have confidence in him in a lot of ways, and don't have confidence in him in some ways."

The vote of "no confidence" came after Triplett fielded some tough questions from neighborhood residents and the media during an NAACP meeting aimed at addressing allegations of police misconduct in the community.

"If there were mistakes made, we are going to act accordingly," Triplett said in response to a question from ABC News about the investigation into Martin's death.

Some believe local authorities botched the investigation from the start.

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law gives enormous leeway to people like Zimmerman to use deadly force if they feel threatened. Since the law was enacted seven years ago, justified homicides in Florida have jumped threefold, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Twenty states have similar laws, but Florida's is widely viewed as having the broadest application. Courts across the state have been trying to figure out how to grapple with the legislation, and the Martin killing is one of several examples that have stirred controversy.
