The Jayman Show

Jaiye here. Matthew Knowles is Beyoncé’s father and has a music school in Houston that I’m thinking of attending at some point.  I met Beyonce at Logan airport in 2000 and she was so nice to me.  Daphne Reid was on the Fresh Prince of Bel air as Aunt Vivian.  I met her and she was nice to me as well.  She has written books and is a wonderful actress.  I hope this interview will help so many people out there who have a lot of talent.  My show is basically about me interviewing established artists and actors so l can help other aspiring artists and actors achieve their dreams.  I feel there is a lot of talent that needs to be seen and heard and l like to showcase that talent on my show.
