During his childhood, Jarell witnessed his parents singing with the Voices of St. Mark, under the tutelage of Lonnie V. Hunter. He also experienced his parents working as worship directors and leading praise teams, and recording gospel music at home. When the family had guest musicians over to make music, Jarell was very attentive to the melodic sounds of the keyboard. Jarell was gifted his first keyboard at age 11. He begins playing by ear.  By the time Jarell entered eighth grade, he was given the opportunity to play for a small church in Chicago, IL where he began to build a list of gospel songs. After a year of experience with this church, he was offered an opportunity to play as the main keyboardist behind a praise team at Community of Faith, COF in Markham, Illinois. His parents were the worship leaders at the time. This position came with much more responsibility and Jarell realized that he needed some training to take his gift to the next level. Jarell was then taken under the wing of a close family friend. John Davis, III, who was the current keyboardist at COF and was transitioning out of the ministry. He helped further Jarell’s gift as a musician, teaching Jarell for no profit, new songs and music theory. Under his tutelage, Jarell began to blossom and his gift from God grew into a singing voice that delivered an anointed sound that encouraged church audiences to continue to seek God for his righteousness and hold on to hope. By his senior year in high school he was leading worship and teaching songs to choir members.
