Name: Ju-Taun

Beginning in 2000 with five young high school friends from the South Jersey area, Ju-Taun has grown to make their mark on the local music scene and recently making a name for themselves on a national level as well. Ju-Taun, (pronounced zha –tawn,) is a derivative of the group member's names: Jake and James (J-Nyce) Evans, Peter (NVS) Garcia, Brian (B-Luv) Lewis, and Samoeun Cheng. From their initial Jackson 5 inspired material to their now mastered fusion of vintage soul blended with new age rhythm and blues, the group has established a sound that cannot be duplicated.

Possessing a repertoire of lyrical and musical talent far beyond their years, Ju-Taun has toured with the likes of noteworthy musical icons and legends. They have opened for legendary bands such as Bloodstone, Enchantment, Instant Funk, Rose Royce, SOS Band, and the world renowned Temptations. Ju-Taun has also performed live along with Ashanti, Avant, Jagged Edge, Mary Mary, 112, Tyrese and fellow New Jersey native, Jaheim. The hip-hop community has also extended their listening ears to Ju-Taun when they witnessed the group grace the same stages as the infamous LL Cool J, Ruff Endz and Roc-A-Fella's own, Young Gunz.

With their upcoming sophomore album “Say It” in the chamber, ready to go, these dynamic entertainers are ready to deliver. Infusing pop melodies to rich, soulful production the album is sure to score with the fans and critics alike. Relying on mostly their own in-house creations, Ju-Taun creates both a unique sound and sentiment for their records. Songs like the first single "Beautiful" exemplify Ju-Taun's nuanced, layered vocals. "Let Me In," a beautiful track in which they lament hearing loves songs on the radio due to the feelings they sonjure, reveals their voices to be clean and almost elated, but rich and weathered at the same time. But true to the groups individual charismatic characters, the album show many sides of Ju-Taun and finds them old at heart, wise even on "Sunshine." Sure cello hits move the track as Ju-Taun floats above, telling their listeners the effects of unexpectedly running into a lost love for the first time in years and realizing how cloudy and grey the sky is without her.

From talent show victories to sold-out concert halls, Ju-Taun's five part harmonies continue to mature into an ever progressing sound. The group's most recent accolade came when they were added to the 2005 Ebony Family Reunion Tour along with the acclaimed hip-hop performer Dougie Fresh and old school diva Teena Marie.

Currently, the group is recording new music, performing throughout the United States, and supporting community events and organizations by volunteering their time and performing at local events throughout New Jersey and the Tri-State areas to benefit and motivate high school students. They have worked in direct correlation with city officials such as Camden, New Jersey's Mayor, Gwendolyn Faison.
