Jhariah on YouTube.
Dog bless the theater kid with a truckload of confidence. Jhariah is a compelling and clear talent as a singer and performer. I wonder what he would sound like if his manager emailed him a LinkedIn Learning Course on singing with melody and not just spamming listeners with church choir yelling. When “impressive” is almost “interesting.”
