Jamal, alongside his one-year old daughter, Harmoni, family, and friends, waved to members of the community that participated in the parade.

“My city’s always been supportive. You know, since I was very young, they’ve been pushing me. they’ve been behind me every step of the way aggressively, you know. so, like I’ve said before, small city, big support system, and I’m forever grateful,” said Jamal Roberts.

Jamal Roberts recently had his debut single “He’s Preparing Me” released nationally in August, to all digital outlet stores.
