Born September 21, 1988 in Chicago, IL, Juiette grew up as a gifted artist and talented musician. God used his love for singing jingles to develop Juiette into a worshipper. With humble beginnings, Juiette joined the Evangel Youth Choir at the age of 12 and began to develop as a singer. Inspired by the movie Drumline, Juiette started to play his first instrument – the drums. Thereafter, God developed in him the skills to play bass, guitar, and piano. During high school, Juiette was a part of youth worship teams of Evangel World Outreach Center and New Life Community Church. It was during this time that the songs began to develop. He became the lead singer/songwriter of a band titled Ordained By Christ, and has many times shared the stage with this amazing team of worshippers. God has opened many doors on his behalf, allowing him to minister in song at churches throughout the Chicagoland area. Juiette was previously worshipper leader of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries at the University of Illinois at Chicago, New Life Community Church (Austin - Oak Park), and Impact Ministries in Maywood, to name a few. Juiette now performs under the stage name Juiette Z. Payne. His first single was entitled “Hold On” (2013). Since then, he has produced a number of singles, his EP “Eternal Dance”, and full length album “Who Am I?” (2016). He is currently working on his second album “Show Love”, set to release Summer 2018.
