RITE NOW_by Semaj The Artist

Semaj the Artist, also known as James “Semaj” Hill, was born September 14,1992 in Macon, GA.  At the mere age of 8, while in transition to Charlotte, North Carolina with his family his musical abilities started to be noticed by members in his community. His musical ambitions began at Macedonia Baptist Church in Macon, GA., where his mother was a lead singer and he accompanied her every week. He began to take interest in the percussion section in which the congos became his favorite. 
Once his family moved to North Carolina, he continued to attend praise and worship practice with his mother at Faith Bible Church where he began to sing and play the drums in children's church. At the age of 9 he wrote his very first song entitled, "Thank you Lord". While in the car one day, as his mom was driving ”Semaj”, his brother, and younger sister to school, there was an announcement on the local gospel station stating that they were holding a singing competition in Charlotte. This was a pure sign of opportunity. After continually begging his mom to call the radio station to sing his newly written song, “Thank you Lord", Semaj was allowed to sing for the radio’s listeners and with a great surprise, Semaj won the competition.
From there he continued to write music in efforts of developing Semaj the Artist. By the age of 13, he was playing percussion in the church. He progressed on to join chorus at East Gaston High School where he was a part of the honors choir and was selected into the all-county chorus. He also became a member of the EG's (all male) a-cappella group. During his time with the EG Chorus Group, he was selected to sing the national anthem for Black History Month for the City Council.  James “Semaj” Hill performed before many during his high school years especially at sporting events. As a result of talent and opportunity, James “Semaj” Hill performed at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee during his senior year.  James “Semaj” Hill will be releasing his long awaited single “Rite Now” on ITunes, Amazon on Demand, Radio, Spotify, and other online stores in March 2015. He is currently recording with Grammy nominated engineer Jak Brown in Atlanta, GA who is known for many hit records with various artists including 2 Chainz, Rocko, Monica, and more.
