J-Harris Star Sightings
J-Harris was front and center with super star Beyonce during the filming of her “I AM...” tour video shoot in the Tribeca section of NYC in early March. Paparazzi from the Daily News, People Magazine, mediatakeout.com, and concreteloop.com were just a few who caught J-Harris strutting along side the sultry singer.
Lending a hand during her special holiday program in December, J-Harris was invited to be one of “Tyra’s Hunks” who presented gifts to unemployed audience members. “Tyra’s Hunks” wore costumes selected by the show’s stylist.

J-Harris aka Joey Fleming continues his genre of conscious driven music with the release of his new slide-show video and single “I’ll Make It Up to You”. This bonafide hit, addresses the issue of domestic violence and abuse at a time when this topic is finally front page, dealing with the mental, physical, and emotional impact of domestic abuse. Although J-Harris has performed the song in various venues since last summer, the timeliness of its release as a single is significant now during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. J was interviewed by Porsche Slocum from Essence.com on what inspired him to write this powerful song that addresses the issue of domestic violence.

As with all of his songs, the skillfully crafted lyrics of “I’ll Make It Up to You” have a message. J-Harris explains, “I was inspired to write this song knowing that abuse is a reality. I hope that anyone who is in a situation of abuse will hear my song, understand that they can let go of that abuser, and be a victor and not a victim. I want them to know that their best days are ahead of them and that if they take action, everything will be all right.” J-Harris lends his smooth and melodic voice and powerful lyrics to a feel good and uplifting track that has a hypnotic quality. J-Harris fans can listen to the song on his myspace page or youtube.
