Jaheim - Jazz Singer
Jaheim, the jazz singer, was born in the Memorial Parkway Homes public housing. His father died in 1981 when he was only three years old. His grandfather sang with many top groups, including The Drifters, and their family reunions were big songfests.
Singing at family reunions and local talent shows preceded a successful tryout at the Apollo Theater's talent show. He won the contest three times when he was fifteen.
Two years later, he experienced tragedy when his mother died. Four years after her death, he recorded a tape that led to a deal with Divine Mill Records (a division of Warner Bros. Records). Hoagland received good reactions from two singles "Could It Be" and "Lil' Nigga
Ain't Mine" on BET video shows. Appearing with Hoagland on his first album was RL (from Next), Blackstreet

, was released on November 5, 2002. Another Top Ten hit, it placed two singles in the Top 40, "Fabulous" and "Anything
" (released November 13, 2001). Ghetto Classics followed in early 2006 and became his first number one album. In 2007 Jaheim signed to Atlantic Records and released his fourth album The Makings of a Man
