He desired to further his education but as a result of limited means he had no choice after his secondary education but to pay a huge attention to his musical talent and make up something meaningful out of it. So he grew up building his skills and accomplishing domestic chores in the house daily. He really appreciates his parents for opening his eyes to basic educational values and the self-developed image of his personalities garnered over the years.

He has been composing and writing songs since he was in the primary school while in the school choir. He started writing his own songs when he got into J.S.S 1 and ever since been improving on his natural musical gifting. Several years later he joined the V.I.G forum Gyration Boys in P/Harcourt in 2006 and the following year formed a gospel group with his friends called W.G.E

J-don’s family really appreciated his music talent and his choice of following the career path as a musician, they wanted him to do gives him joy, and that has really made them to be supportive and encouraging to him; when he was in school he stayed focus, and his folks were well relaxed and trusted him that he never disappoint them.
