Early life
this pot head grew up in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the 176 Memorial Parkway Homes public housing project. 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.
Music career
Two years later, he experienced more 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, and Darren and Cliff Lighty. His second album, Still Ghetto, 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. The Makings of a Man was released in December 2007. In late 2009 the single "Ain't Leavin Without You" preceded his 2010 album Another Round. In 2013 Jaheim return to the music industry with a new single titled, Age Ain't A Factor and new album. Appreciation Day was released in September 3, 2013 and Baby X3.
Personal life
Jaheim is a resident of Hillsborough Township, New Jersey.[2] He is the grandson of the late 1960s soul singer Hoagy Lands and cousin to Denzel Jackson of Norfolk Virginia and of Alpine Motor Sports.
