MISSION STATEMENT : "To uplift and encourage others through my gift(s) that GOD gave me (The father of my lord and Savior Jesus Christ or Cristo de Jesus.)"
J.O.T. aka James O. Terry Jr. wants to encourage and give both young and old people in the world hope, and let them know that with faith and perseverance the impossible can become possible (J.O.T. knows what he is talking about because he was able to press up a CD album immediately after his Cancer went into remission).   J.O.T. started writing what GOD had done because he held on to his faith(J.O.T. praised GOD even when he thought he was going to die, and believes that is why GOD healed him just as GOD healed JOB in the bible because JOB praised GOD even when it looked like he was going to die).   Before he became saved, J.O.T. was a mobile Disc Jockey and could be found mixing and scratching records on the turntables at popular spots throughout NORTH CAROLINA.   During that time J.O.T. started producing beats too, and then later writing song lyrics.   This soon led J.O.T. to embark out on his own as a solo hip hop/rap artist.   In 1996 J.O.T. turned his life over to Christ and wanted that to reflect in his music.   That same year J.O.T. officially started up his Christian based company, SOUL-FULL PRODUCTIONS (The reason he spelled the company name with a hyphen in the middle and the letter L twice at the end of the name was to let the world know that his "SOUL" was "FULL" because he displayed the WORD OF GOD through what he did.) With three different subsidiary branches to SOUL-FULL PRODUCTIONS (Clothing line, Literature, and Record label branch) J.O.T. encouraged Christians not to get lazy in their ministry and non-Christians to see what Christ can do in any dreams they desire.   As the first artist to come out on his independent record label, J.O.T. RECORDS, J.O.T. put out five CD albums, four CD singles, and four 12” vinyl records (entitled NORTH CAROLINA STREET HEAT Presents…volumes 1,2,3, and 4).   J.O.T. also has a music video which was shot on film near NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY where he is an alumnus.   Today J.O.T. has been heard on SIRIUS satellite radio (Featured on TRUTH TALK LIVE during 2007 INTERVIEW with STU EPPERSON), major FM radio stations (Featured on THE TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW during 2008 INTERVIEW with RENNE VAUGHN of 97.1FM), and has appeared on major television news stations in the Piedmont Triad area (WXII, FOX 8, WFMY, and UPN 48 which has now changed to MY 48).   J.O.T. has performed live in both Miami, Florida (In 2003 at UMOJA FESTIVAL, in 2006 at I/O ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE) and North Carolina (In 2002 at BENTON CONVENTION CENTER NEW YEAR’S EVE CONCERT hosted by 97.1 FM’s A.C. STOWE, in 2006 at CENTRO CRISTIANO OUTDOOR CONCERT, in 2007 at the TWIN CITY RIB FEST, and in 2008 at the HISPANIC FESTIVAL).   In 1998 J.O.T. started his Christian clothing line called SOUL-FULL WEAR in which he also designed and wore clothing pieces from.   He also started up the female division of his clothing line, which is called LADY SOUL, and designed the first piece of clothing for the women’s line (LADY SOUL is now run by J.O.T.’s female business partner).   In 2004 J.O.T. published his first autobiography entitled “ABOUT J.O.T.”.    The book talked about his music, his company SOUL-FULL PRODUCTIONS, and briefly about his ordeal with cancer.   In 2006 J.O.T. had another book published called BREAKING STEREOTYPES , and promoted the 12" vinyl various artist project NORTH CAROLINA STREET HEAT Presents.... volume 4.   In 2007 he produced the first online issue of his contemporary Christian SOUL-FULL magazine.   In 2008 J.O.T. produced the second online issue of his contemporary Christian SOUL-FULL magazine., and along with his female business partner, co-authored and published a double book with two front covers (The first front cover is titled PEACEMAKER and when the book is flipped over the second front cover is displayed and it is titled I COULD HAVE GOTTEN REVENGE BUT I DIDN’T) .   J.O.T. feels that GOD will allow his ministry to encourage even more people with cancer, those who may not have cancer but know people with the disease, and others as well.    He wants to let everyone know that focusing on CHRIST will help them with whatever they are going through.   J.O.T. knows because he is a living testimony.   GOD BLESS!   J.O.T.
