Jhameel 艺人简介

Jhameel拥有韩国、日本和蒙古三国血统，在美国明尼苏达州的一个小镇长大，是一名极富创造力、活力十足并且会说多种语言的独立流行歌手。

为了支付学习深造的高昂学费，当在读高中时，他就参加了美国陆军预备役军官训练团的项目。这个项目可以让他进入加州大学伯克利分校(University of California，Berkeley)学习，但有一个条件，就是他必须在部队服役满四年。但是随着他世界观的逐渐成熟，以及这所大学所倡导的自由意识，他逐渐发现到这个项目里的种种漏洞。他最终从后备军官学校退学，用了不到两年的时间，以优异的成绩在阿拉伯语系毕业，并更名为“Jhameel”，开始了他的音乐生涯。

受到Prince、Michael Jackson、Phoenix及MGMT等影响，这位歌手兼制作人兼多种乐器演奏家，在2009年发表了自己的同名专辑《Jhameel》并深受听众喜爱。

Born of Korean, Japanese, and Mongolian ancestry, provocative, androgynous, multi-faceted indie-pop artist Jhameel grew in up in a sleepy town in Minnesota.  Creative, driven, and multilingual, the high cost of furthering his education led him to a military recruiter, and while still in high school, he entered into the U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps program.  The program allowed him to attend the University of California, Berkeley, but with the caveat that he would have to commit four years of his life to the military, a concept that grew increasingly problematic as his social and political worldview expanded, due in no small part to the university's noted liberal environment.  He eventually dropped out of the ROTC, and within two years, had graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Arabic, changed his name to Jhameel, and embarked on a career in music.  Inspired by Prince, Michael Jackson, and the high-energy, mercurial, electro-pop of bands like Phoenix and MGMT, the singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist self-released his eponymous debut album in 2009, and has been prolifically releasing a massive library of albums and singles to this day
