Jamar Rogers
- Actor
- Soundtrack
Jamar Rogers entered the world on March 1, 1982 to a single mother in
New Orleans. Growing up, Jamar showed tremendous talent for singing as
early as six years of age, but soon fell prey to the emotional problems
that come with growing up in a fatherless household and became addicted
to drugs to fill the missing piece. As his life began to spiral out of
control, the unthinkable happened; Jamar was declared HIV positive.
Completely broken, Jamar somehow found the light in the darkest time of
his life and began to turn things around. After six years of being
clean from crystal meth, Jamar auditioned for The Voice and "the rest
is history," as they say. Since becoming a finalist on The Voice, Jamar
has appeared on popular shows such as The Today Show, Ellen, CNN, E!
Entertainment News, MTV News, HLN's Showbiz Tonight, USA Today, People
Magazine, US Weekly, Billboard, Rolling Stone.com, The Hollywood
Reporter, The Huffington Post, POZ Magazine, Popcrush, Sway In The
Morning, Positively Aware Magazine and many more! In addition to
recording a new album, he is touring nationally, packing out venues,
while drawing crowds of all ages with his soulful voice. He is actively
working in his community to demystify HIV/AIDS along with doing his
best to spread a message of hope and second chances to a generation of
young people. Aside from singing, Jamar has also been given great
recognition for his ability as an inspirational speaker, and has been
invited to speak at several events, benefits and award shows this Fall,
including AIDS 2012 in Washington, DC. Jamar is a true example of an
underdog coming back to win big, and only time will tell what great
things are to come. Stay tuned...
