Jaheim

Jaheim H. Hoagland, born on May 26, 1978, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, began his musical journey early in life. His talent was recognized by Naughty by Nature’s Kaygee, leading to his signing with Divine Mill Records in 2000. Jaheim released his debut album, “Ghetto Love,” in 2001, which soon earned him significant recognition. He followed this success with “Still Ghetto” in 2002, an album that produced hit singles such as “Put That Woman First” and “Fabulous.” These early achievements laid a strong foundation for his career, securing his place in the R&B genre with platinum success for both singles.

His career continued to flourish with the release of “Ghetto Classics” on February 14, 2006. This album marked a significant milestone, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and selling over 153,000 copies in its first week. In 2007, Jaheim joined Atlantic Records, releasing “The Makings of a Man” that same year. He further expanded his discography with “Another Round” in 2010, which included the single “Ain’t Leavin Without You.” Jaheim continued to evolve his sound, returning in 2013 with “Appreciation Day” and establishing his own label, Julie’s Dream Music Group, which he had initially founded in 1997 and restarted in 2002.

After parting ways with Atlantic Records, Jaheim signed a new record deal with BMG Records in February 2015, continuing his partnership with Julie’s Dream Music Group. This collaboration led to the release of his single “Back in My Arms” in June 2015, followed by his seventh album, “Struggle Love,” in March 2016. Throughout his career, Jaheim has sold 5 million records globally and received three Grammy nominations, cementing his status as a respected and influential artist in the R&B landscape.
