JESUSJAY

JesusJay, is my artistic name. I'm a Venezuelan-American citizen living in the U.S. since 1995.

I was born at 3:30 am in Caracas, on the 12th day of the Gregorian Calendar year, on the same birthday as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Swami Vivekananda but my year was one thousand nine hundred and sixty six.

Some people panic when I tell them that my number is 66, they go "Uh, 66 like 666?

And I say to them, yes it's the devil portraying Jesus.

To be born on the same day of my beloved masters, is indeed a Blessed Cosmic Coincidence.

Six plus six is 12, and 12 months, 12 disciples,

I was born on January 12th, 1966.

Why the name JesusJay?

Well, it's a pretty funny story. I created that name when I came back to the U.S. for the second time in 1995.

The name Jesus in Spanish is a common name as Joseph or John.  In the U.S. Jesus is synonymous with Christ.

I was only 13 the first time I  was bullied.  I was in seven grade in Middle School in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

One day, our Science teacher, a big black lady with a tough face was calling the list and when she got to my name she went like "Jesus, J-e-s-u-s Rojas?

LOL he he he

I remember feeling my face burning "red" of embarrassment. From that moment on I had issues with that name.

So if you are American and don't want to call me Jesus, then call me Jay and if you are Hispanic or Latino and don't want to call me Jay, then call me Jesus.

If you like both, then call me

JesusJay
