Rafael Ramon (born March 14, 1984) better known by his stage name JUMZ is an American rapper. He is of Dominican descent, hailing from Washington Heights, Manhattan.
He was raised in the predominantly Dominican section of Manhattan, Washington Heights and went to Norman Thomas H.S.
In 2006, JUMZ debuted his first LP "SIGN JUMZ" thru his imprint Paid It In Pain which was distributed independently. The album underperformed at the mainstream level due to lack of promotions but the following single "Satisfy" became one of JUMZ's biggest hits to date.
In December 2007, JUMZ announced his first ever European Tour, My Head Is Swollen Tour. At his return from Europe, he unveiled his new video "Paid It In Pain" which was shot in Paris, France and has garnered him accolades from music industry heads. As a result, SESAC, one of the three leading performance rights organizations in the US, has offered JUMZ a publishing deal.
Also, he recently was featured by celebrity portraiture photographer Kelly Kline in her portfolio which include music and sports entertainment's biggest names such as Reggie Bush, T.I., Rev Run, LeBron James, and Amar'e Stoudemire among others.
