Sullee J has flown out to Chicago today. His opening performance for Cash Money’s Jay Sean is tonight, March 25th and he is also flying back to Europe, April 10th to open for Mos Def at the Rockefeller Center in Norway Oslo City.

Sullee J was born on March 25th, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in a Pakistani/American culture. He struggled with neglect,racism, multiplied mistakes, and heartaches. Sullee J moved to Chicago’s Stony Island area in 2004 where he was greatly influenced by the music scene. On December 28th, 2005 Sullee J was in a life changing car accident that landed him in the hospital for over a month, and bedridden for a year.

He now reflects,

“Before my accident I was always on the edge, didn’t care, would get into anything, and didnt care if I died right there. After it, I realized how much I had and how much of a change I needed to make. I realized that death wasn’t for me yet. I almost gave up before the accident and then something came into me. It felt like God put something in me, which now I know is my faith. Thats what keeps everything at a positive level for me.”
