Jarryl was born in Dallas, Texas in a household where singing was all he and his family knew. Like many artists, Jarryl grew up singing in church. Mother kept us at church singing in the choir and just being "church kids". We were at church so much, that my brothers and I formed a singing group along with mother. With the strict hand and guidance while raising four boys, mother had to do everything within her power to keep us from the streets. Let's just say mother knows best.
When Jarryl got older, he wanting to spread his wings to capture new heights and know more about the music industry. Jarryl attended broadcasting school and soon after began working for a local radio station where he gained valuable knowledge about the music industry. He began singing professionally in 1992 along with his twin brother, they signed with an independent record label in Dallas as a duo.
Jarryl recalls leaving the studio one day and while driving home, the voice of God spoke to hime to close the studio, where he only produced secular music that he owned with his brother. Wrestling with his thoughts and not understanding why, he was obedient to God although he did not know or understand what God had in store for him. In the midst of it all, he understood that if we give it to God, He will work it out. Jarryl gives all the glory and praise to God for what he is doing in his life right now.
On August 3, 2011 Jarryl signed with " Tate Music Group" and released his new CD entitled, " God Is Able" in September 2012
