- Me, Myself, and I
- My Name is Emmanuel Jal, and I was born in war torn Sudan.
I do not know when I was born, but I believe I took my first breath of oxygen sometime in the early 80s.
I am from southern Sudan my country has been at war for over a decade.
At the age of seven I, along with thousands of other children was taken from Sudan to Ethiopia, to learn to read and write. During my time there, I learned 8 languages, but as time passed we learned that we had in fact been bought there to be trained as child soldiers. I escaped from the growing army when people started to lose their vision and started fighting one another. Our common enemy being our Sudanese people from the north. I ended up in a town called Waat. It was here that I was rescued by aid worker Emma McCune. Unfortunately a year after I was rescued Emma was killed in a fatal car accident. After this tragedy things became increasingly difficult for me.
- Music
- I turned to music as a method of therapy and started singing in church. I discovered I had a talent for music at the age of 20.
I released a song in Kenya called "All we need" which became extremely successful. My second release "Gua" reached number one in Kenya, and bought me international acclaim, winning me an American Gospel Award. I then in 2005 released an album called "Ceasefire". This to was a successful project and enabled me to travel, performing in a variety of cities all over the USA and Europe. I also had the privilage of being asked to be the headlining act performing at the Eden project in Cornwall for Live 8 2005, and my track "BAAI" is featured on the soundtrack of "Blood Diamond."
I am currently working on my forthcoming album "War Child" due for release in 2008 - Official Site
