Jelani Aswad
Story:
Jelani Aswad is a native of the Bronx, New York and spent most of his formative years growing up in Spring Valley, New York. In church, he discovered his ability to sing and perform as a way to honor the Creator who gave him his gifts. Jelani strayed for years wondering who he was as he experienced the unique challenges of city and suburban life in New York. Those experiences and neighborhood stories always intrigued Jelani as he developed a deep desire to catalog those stories through music and poetry.
The gospel of Jesus Christ transformed Jelani's life, but he still felt that the untold stories, deep groanings, and the heartfelt lamentations of the community he was raised in could bring transformation to a world so desperately seeking peace in temporary places.
