Every superstar possesses a talent, but beyond their gift some have a story. Emerging Pop sensation Jayson Peña has had a compelling ride on his journey to the top. Starz was born October 28, 1990 in Harlem, New York. Raised in the Bronx, he developed a love for music and dance through his parents. His father taught him his dance moves and his mom being a D.J. sparked his interest in the music scene. As far back as he can remember Starz has been dancing. He did not discover his vocal talents until his middle school years. Once he found this vocal gift he combined it with dance and began to develop them by performing in talent shows. In his early trials he received a lot of negative attention because people did not believe in his ability to sing. Defying his doubters Starz continued his journey eventually and gained some unparalleled media exposure.His career consisted mostly of backup vocals and dance for groups like “Marcy Place”. In his budding solo career, Starz is staying true to his Pop roots. His music and dance are influenced by idols like Michael Jackson, Usher and Chris Brown. He does his own choreography, engineers his own music and does much of the writing as well. Around the age of 18 he started to spend time in music studios around New York simply because he wanted to be in the environment. In his short time as a solo artist he has performed at Mayfair, Musikfest and Croc Rock Café. He has opened for Day 26 and May 29, 2010 Starz has performed alongside Bruno Mars in Atlantic City, New Jersey at Paradise Weekend hosted by College Mansion.As a performer, Starz wishes to develop his vocals and dance, and more than anything be true to his fans. He believes that music is meant to be fun and lyrics should be easy to relate to. Starz wishes for his music to fit the mainstream in order to be heard. His goal is to be as close to perfection as possible, yet still be “plain old Jayson”. Even though he is on the cusp of superstardom, he likes to be humble and really give back to the fans. To him it’s not about the money, but rather the journey to the top and his love for music.
