MY STORY
Jules "Jaunti" Adams is an audio engineer, filmmaker, YouTuber, record producer, and artist. Growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, he was influenced by the great Michael Jackson in addition to Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Babyface, Sam Cooke, Gerald Levert, and many more. Adams decided to concentrate his efforts on going to open mics and talent shows and gradually getting to know a range of musicians and artists as time went on.
Nevertheless, he came to love poetry deeply. All he wanted to do was write, and at sixteen, he was quietly writing short stories and almost finishing a novel.
Acting, film, and photography all piqued Adams' interest. Even so, he was not positive that those were the career paths he wanted to take. For a class assignment, Adams then attempted to write his first screenplay for a low-budget school film with an inexperienced cast and crew. He called it the "War of the Music Genres." Adams considered it to be a moderate success. To further his interest in the performing arts, he even participated in school-sponsored short films and musicals.
In 2005, Adams and his family were forced to flee their home and relocate to Texas due to Hurricane Katrina, which was one of the most destructive and deadly hurricanes in American history. They stayed in motels for short periods of time during the first few months they were homeless. It was one of their worst experiences ever. Adams was filled with despair and questioned how he would ever bounce back from such a major setback as losing everything he had worked so hard to accomplish, including the almost finished novel. He believed his days as a poet, musician, and filmmaker were over. When Adams felt that hope was fading, he began to pray every day, as though he could see his future ending. But when he moved to a new location in the winter of 2005, everything changed.
Following several months of financial hardship, Adams was accepted into his new high school. Following his melodic introduction to a classmate who ran a home recording studio, Adams received an invitation to record his very first song. At the height of MySpace's popularity, he received mediocre reviews from his peers. In retrospect, he saw it as a huge success. His practice of putting out new music has garnered him a lot of praise on social media, along with the praise of other artists with whom he has worked.
After learning the principles of creative activity in all forms of art and having personally experienced it, he was instantly captivated. After that, he concentrated primarily on establishing his own home recording studio. After years of adversity, Adams has made remarkable progress as an engineer and producer. He was able to work with Houston hip-hop artist J. Napoleon of Lil Flip's record label "Glover G Records" and the late Theodore Jones, better known as Young Greatness, despite having more opportunities to pursue a career in music and film by seeing how actual studios operate. Adams did, however, also make time to attend the University of New Orleans, Berklee College of Music, and Los Angeles Film School in order to gain knowledge about the importance of music creation, literature, and artistry development.
In 2016, Adams's quality of life decreased when he was on the verge of going blind after being diagnosed with prolactinoma and other illnesses. He makes an effort to at least partially pursue his passion for creating art every day, despite his vision impairment.
Keith Craft, the author and founding pastor of Elevate Life Church in Frisco, Texas, is credited with saying, "A lack of vision is the cause of your lack of passion for any area of your life." "Where there is no vision, there is no passion" is a proverb that has solidified Adams' belief that "anything" is possible. He cried out, "I can still do it." Even so, he is adamant that nothing will stop him from achieving his goals because he believes that if Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, two of his favorite musicians, can achieve it, then so can he.
Adams' current goal is to graduate from Full Sail University with a bachelor's degree in audio production. Ultimately, he will continue to explore every avenue open to him in order to progress beyond his current state of affairs.

Saint, Jaunti and Shamur de Awesome during a recording session.
Little fragments that embody all that I have ever seen, felt, heard, and dreamed of make up my art. My daily objective is to gain new knowledge every day. Even though my vision is blurry and doubled, I still want to do the things I enjoy doing the most. When you can do what you love, that is what we refer to as "freedom." Living life to the fullest is something I owe to myself. It also includes the freedom to.
Whether it be in music, movies, or photography, my work helps me express who I am to people when I am at a loss for words. I want to create an elegant body of work, and I will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. However, I do not let obstacles or people limit me because I use the recognition I receive for my work as a tool for empowerment.
My inspiration and solace for creating this work came from its history. I really think that having peace of mind is important. Somehow, part of it has made me into someone else. That version gives me a sense of escape from reality when there are certain things that are hard to remember. Because of this, I benefit from my art because it motivates me to create work that will eventually stand out as distinctive and remarkable.
As an artist, I work very hard to create mellow music, videos, or pictures in order to fulfill my personal and professional tasks. Though not everyone can perceive it that way, everything is beautiful. It may involve the senses of taste, touch, sound, sight, or even just our imagination. As far as I am concerned, art can act as a kind of manual to help people use their imagination to find the reason behind pursuing any goal they set for themselves.
I am working on a lot of projects right now for both myself and my clients, who want original artwork or powerful pictures to represent whatever it is they are trying to accomplish.
I have worked with artists who have supported and aided me in honing my craft. The goal is to continuously strive for excellence above and beyond the standards I have committed to meeting. My past audio production experience will always remind me of how and why I began this journey. My knowledge that the more I work to strengthen my foundation in music, the more confident I will feel in my ability to reach my objectives, also aids in my ability to remain focused. Whether I worked on projects that only required recording, mixing, mastering, or producing, I never gave up until the task was completed. For this reason, I would prefer to prioritize quality over quantity since, without quality, the output would be useless.
