My Story

Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Jamez T. discovered early that creativity had the power to inspire, connect, and transform lives.

Raised with strong values of perseverance, faith, and determination, he developed a passion for storytelling that would become the foundation of his life’s work.

Jamez began his creative journey in music, writing songs, producing records, and developing artists.

Through music, he learned the power of storytelling, audience connection, and creative leadership.

What started behind the microphone and in the studio gradually expanded into entrepreneurship, branding, media production, and visual storytelling.

Over the years, he built experience across entertainment, business, marketing, and content creation, developing a diverse skill set that allowed him to create, lead, and build across multiple industries.

As his vision expanded, so did his desire to tell stories on a larger scale.

Known earlier in his career as King Yao, Jamez embraced a new chapter by stepping fully into his identity as a filmmaker, executive producer, and visionary entrepreneur.

That transition represented more than a name change. It marked the evolution of a creative journey that began with music and grew into a mission of producing films, documentaries, and media experiences that inspire purpose, impact culture, and leave a lasting legacy.

Today, as founder of Genisys Films and TJK Plus, Jamez develops feature films, documentaries, music videos, and creative initiatives designed to educate, inspire, and empower audiences around the world.

His work includes collaborations with artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, all driven by a commitment to excellence and meaningful storytelling.

Beyond film production, Jamez believes true success is measured by the opportunities created for others.

Through mentorship, leadership, and community engagement, he remains committed to helping emerging creatives and entrepreneurs discover their gifts and pursue their vision with confidence.

His journey continues to be guided by faith, purpose, and a belief that every story has the power to change lives.

“My goal is not simply to create films. My goal is to inspire dreamers, develop leaders, and build a legacy that empowers future generations.”
