CHOCLATT...began playing drums at the age of three and discovered his singing voice at age 12. He first gained recognition in the subways and sidewalks of New York City, as one of the world-renowned New York Bucket Drummers. While bucket drumming on Broadway, Jared caught the attention of George C. Wolfe and Savion Glover, who asked him to choreograph all of the on-stage percussion and be featured performer in the Tony Award winning musical BRING IN DA NOISE, BRING IN DA FUNK.
The rest, as they say, is history... Following hot on the heels of NOISE/FUNK, Jared created and starred in the critically acclaimed musical KEEP BANGIN. It was during this period that his singing talents came to the fore, with many hailing his voice as "the new Al Green." Jared''s unique vocal style blends elements of soul, R&B & Hip-Hop, with lyrics that are clearly heartfelt but always manage to "keep it real."

He has also worked with such artists as Usher and the late Gregory Hines and recently appreared and performed with Alicia Keys in her latest video "Karma".
