Jones, Russell Simmons and Sean Combs have had a major musical influence on Mr. Sumz as well. At the age of 10, the
North Side Queens native started to write his own music, he recorded his first demo on a Talkboy recorder and a Rapman
keyboard. By the age of 14 he found himself working amongst Grammy award winner LL Cool J on the track “Rasta
Imposter”, which was featured on Def Jam’s “Survival of the Illest” mixtape. While in high school Mr. Sumz started a hip
hop group with his friends, they recorded and sold their own mixtape cd’s. After being successful at selling his music
independently, he then started to venture into building his own household brand name Doe Jones Entertainment which
fixates on music, fashion and film & more.
