Jezani Williams was raised in a deeply musical household, with her grandfather's professional music background and her parents' guitar and singing talents.

Joining the school choir and band under the guidance of two talented directors, she explored a wide range of musical styles, including the energetic Dennery Segment, a fusion of traditional Caribbean sounds with modern electronic music.
