Jua’Quen Perry was born on January 15, 2001, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Tawanie H. Pointer of St. Matthews, South Carolina, and Wesley Perry Jr. of Washington, D.C. He is the youngest of three siblings on his mother’s side and the oldest of two siblings on his father’s side. From an early age, Jua’Quen displayed a deep passion for creativity and expression, using both music and visual art as powerful outlets for his gifts.

Driven by a heart to serve, Jua’Quen’s mission is to be a helping hand in his community while making a meaningful impact on future generations through his talents and abilities. His musical journey began at just six years old, when he started singing. By the age of eleven, he had already begun playing the piano and Hammond organ by ear, a remarkable gift that quickly set him apart.

In 2012, Jua’Quen stepped into his first official role as Minister of Music at Calvary Baptist Church in St. Matthews, South Carolina, a church with deep family roots where his great-grandparents, Della and Issac Lee Howell, along with many other relatives, have faithfully served as dedicated members. His leadership in music ministry continued to expand as he served as Minister of Music at the Historic Bull Swamp Baptist Church in Orangeburg for nearly five years, as well as Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Bowman, South Carolina, and Minister of Music & Worship Arts at Oak Grove Baptist Church in Elgin, South Carolina. Today, Jua’Quen serves as the Music Director at Right Direction Church International in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

Beyond his church leadership, Jua’Quen is a self-taught and highly sought-after musician, serving and supporting numerous churches throughout Orangeburg and surrounding communities. His dedication to ministry and spiritual growth led him to graduate from the Living Water School of Ministry in May 2025 with a degree in Biblical Studies.

While music is one of his greatest passions, it is not his only gift. Jua’Quen is also skilled in graphic design, photography, videography, and website design, using each of these creative avenues to uplift others and spread the message of the Gospel. His commitment to excellence and creativity led him to found Que Perry Media & Productions on July 23, 2021, in Columbia, South Carolina, a company dedicated to capturing moments and creating impactful visual media.

At a very young age, Jua’Quen dedicated his life to Jesus Christ, and his work continues to reflect that commitment. He is deeply grateful for the many individuals and organizations who have supported and encouraged his journey, including his mother, Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5, Mr. Maurice Middleton, Dr. Jerome Brown, Mr. Derrick Burch, Mrs. Shaniqua Burch, Billy Bradley Jr. and Heart of Worship, the Calvary Baptist Church family, the DeLand Missionary Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida, and many others who have helped nurture the vision God has placed in his life.

Jua’Quen’s desire is not simply to succeed, but to inspire others to recognize and walk in their own purpose.

"Not only do I want to be an inspiration, but I want to allow others to see what God is revealing through me so they can open up and allow God to use them. I just want to be an example."
