Early life

Jekalyn Almonique Carr was born on April 22, 1997 to Jennifer Denise Carr and Allen Lindsey Carr in Arkansas. Jekalyn has two siblings: Allen Lindsey Carr Jr. and Allundria Carr.

At 5 years old, Carr began serving in her nearby church choir and was noted by her folks to have a decent ear for music. Carr taught herself how to sing and became a main chorister in her neighborhood church.

After some time, Carr’s singing ability continued to develop and age 11 she was called to serve in melodies and inspirational words to the general population. [2]

Music career

At 13, Carr was a highly sought-after speaker. She has never shied away from her true calling of delivering messages of positivity, hope and the celebration of her faith to audiences around the country.

At the age of 15, her speaking shifted to music when her single “Greater Is Coming” debuted on Billboard’s Gospel Music Top Ten.

Carr received her first Stellar Award at the age of 16. [1]
