'Mr. J' ... Jerome DeBose
Producer, Musician, Actor and Author of
"Coach 'Em Up!"
A Dramatic Tv Miniseries of Books,
Arts and Entertainment
Early Beginnings
I believe I had fallen in love with music at birth.
Music and entertainment has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.
At home around the age of 5, my older siblings would hand me their old 45 records to play on our little cheap record player, as they did whatever it was that young kids did... And at that point I had began to develop a taste for the "musical standouts" ... you know... the Good stuff...
A True Music Lover
Something I did religiously as a young teenager and up to my early adult years...
I would keep track of the best and most popular music.
EVERY weekend I would listen to
"America's Top 40 Countdown" hosted by the legendary Casey Kasem, as I followed the best and most popular tracks of the week, for years!
I would rarely miss an episode of
Dick Clark's "American Bandstand",
Wolfman Jack's "Midnight Special",
and the Infamous Don Cornelius's "Soul Train!"
As I was totally unaware of how pivotal this would be
in my adult life.
Life Today as a Author/Producer
I'm the last person to have ever believed that I would have become an author...
The thing is... I hadn't read a novel in over 25 years!
Maybe it's because, I hadn't set out to become a writer... the characters, the story, and dialogue just started one day as I was at my desk.
Family and friends who had read some of the writings encouraged me to continue on.
Because just like myself, we all had become intrigued,
and we all wanted more, and the only way to do so...
was to just keep writing.
In my heart, I truly believe, this story has chosen me,
to write it, this Tv miniseries...

Recent Acting/Filmology
In the past I've created a few music videos, but I had always been behind the cameras. So now after many classes, workshops and a lot of reading, I have been having a ball executing my latest craft of... Acting!
Recently, I've been very lucky to have landed several roles in Tv shows and commercials!
TV One network's "Fatal Attraction" crime recreation, and a small acting role in the upcoming Tv series pilot called, "Spilled Paint".. on the TUBI Network.

Modeling
I definitely now have a newly found respect for anyone who has chosen the craft of modeling...
It's really hard work, but It's always a BLAST playing others!
