Born and raised in South Jamaica Queens, NY D.Jus managed to stay
focused on wanting more out of life. Growing up around such individuals
as Mr.Cheeks of the Rap Group Lost Boyz gave him the drive to want to
be in entertainment, and Having Debra Wilson from Mad TV show interest
in him helped him gravitate to filmmaking. In 2008, he was ordered to
deploy to Afghanistan. He decided to buy a MiniDV camera to document
his time in the country. About three weeks into his mobilization he
realized that he liked to write and direct short films. When he
returned home he found YouTube and started uploading short comedy
episodes of a Husband and Wife team named Cletus and Jean. This caught
the eye of his now mentor Al Thompson who invited him to work in a
small capacity on the critically acclaimed Webseries "Odessa".
