From performing to entrepreneurship and also charity work, Jelani has completed many projects over the years. In 2014, he attended the JJ & Friends Academy for the Performing Arts, where he got the chance to be featured in a JJ & Friends commercial. The following year of attending the Academy, a huge concert was held where he got to perform a solo and dance routine to showcase what they had learne
d. Three years later in 2018, he performed at the very popular, "Kaiso Blues Café".This performance was followed by a modelling gig at the Red Runway Kids Fashion Show.
2019 proved to be very progressive as there were several projects done. In Early September he signed with the talent company, Ameliore Management INC, where he was approached to record a Radio Ad for Penywise. Due to the work done by him and his school mates, along with his proper speaking and stage presence skills, he was then chosen to speak at Napa in front of 1000+ students about all the charitable work his school's 'WE Club' has done. Only being a form 1 student at the time, he was then awarded an earned trip to Toronto, Canada where he undertook leadership training. In early 2020 His first ever short film entitled "Born Free" won him first place in a film contest held by Rollywood Entertainment. "Born Free" later premiered at Digicel IMAX for the Hollywood International Film Festival. Earlier this year (2020), he launched his Instagram based Graphic Design and Branding business, "YourDesignsTT", that currently has over 100 followers. Most recently he has been named as one of Cedros Bay's blogger/influencer, a skincare brand he has admired for some time. As well as recently becoming a Social Media Brand Ambassador for Scribbles & Quills, a local bookstore. Currently his partaking in the shooting of educational videos for JJ & Friends is now aired on Television, Media and the Brand's Tablets later in the year. There are currently 4 big projects in the works for the near future including an interview with Caribbean CyberStream. Jelani is a very determined young man who absolutely LOVES what he does. It's pretty much safe to say that he has conquered very much at his age and it is only the beginning!
