Jazzy describes himself on Facebook as a "dancer/choreographer/student" and his mum Sandra reveals that his love of dance started at the age of four, when his dad bought him a dance tape. Now a professional dancer, Jazzie’s friend Andre explained that although he’s mainly known as a dancer, when people “hear him sing they’ll be surprised”.

Before his performance on Let it Shine, Jazzie said: “The one thing about me, I’m not scared of trying something new or going well out of my own range. Maybe I can’t even do it, but I’ll give it a try and if I can’t do it, I gave it a good try.”
