Diamonds In The Rough

Biography Jayme 'Numatik' Carroll was born in Vancouver, WA and raised in the northwest. His parents divorced when he was 6 years old, and his now family of four had moved to Tigard, OR. The split definitely impacted the way I saw myself as an individual, and it was difficult watching my brother and sister attempt to cope. Families were never designed to be separated, but I thank God for my church family (JIBC) they've always been there for me... It seems like I was born and raised in the church, haha. In his freshman year of high school the family had to move to Puyallup, WA for his mother's new job. Numatik states, I used to be a really reserved and quiet kid, as a result he was harassed daily by his peers. They would taunt me to hit back, but I wouldn't no matter how much I wanted to. I knew it wasn't right, and even at my breaking point, no one was there to teach me how to stand up for myself... Jayme started fighting, and began believing the lie that he was worthless, and this quickly led to depression, and frequent thoughts of suicide. If there was a God it really seemed like He couldn't have been farther from me, I had lost everything I held dear, including myself... I remember crying out one night, pleading to God to deliver me, and in what may seem like a flash in retrospect; God restored what was lost. Numatik began rapping in 2007, which lead to writing his first song '180' in 2010. '180' was a song for his dad, resulting in his father accepting Christ! From this point on he felt a call on his life to impact & inspire others through music. Since then it seems God has been opening door after door. From his first performance as the opening act for 'Overcome' a local worship event. To accomplishing his self produced album, he never had to strive, but simply abide, in God's favor, grace & love. His digital album titled 'Red' was released in December 2011. This journey has definitely sprouted from humble beginnings, but God has been ever faithful. And even as I carry this dream and head towards the goal, I'm constantly blown away by every life God has allowed me to touch in some way... Numatik is an emcee, who desires to invade the music industry with life! Right now he is currently finishing up his first ever physical album titled 'Diamonds In The Rough' will include some remade/re-mixed tracks from 'Red'. Including many new songs featured as well! The album was mastered by Crazy Daisy Productions. And This will be set to release this 2013 year. 'I'm releasing this in faith, I pray it will impact lives; set people free to walk in their God given destiny, rise up & dream! God I pray that you would go before me, and begin to open doors! I'm beyond excited to see what it is you have in store!'
