JLSclarity (\Jewlz – klar’i-tee\) is Javis Lee Sneed (JLS), seeing clear; living life guided by the God of creation – secure in the truth of His salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Born and raised in Massillon, OH, JLS grew up amazed by people – their differences, similarities and indifference; Witnessing their pride and prejudice guide their lives. He was independent – hardened by the hatred shown by his peers, but at the same time grounded by the love of his family. It was that love and the faithfulness of his grandparents that kept him in church where he accepted Christ at a young age.
As time passed, a move away from his grandparents took him away from church and into pleasing himself and others. In high school he dealt with the same prejudice, but this time he took the pride for himself and instead of pleasing God he did what was right in his own eyes.
Along the way, a love for music adapted into rapping as a way to express himself – progressing over the years into managing artists, songwriting, producing, booking shows and performing in the region. But what was missing was God’s purpose he was put on earth to fulfill; No matter what measure of “success” he reached doing it his way – he couldn’t stop thinking about God and a need for change in his life.
After rededicating his life to Christ in August 2007 and taking 2 solid years of studying the Bible and serving the Lord through ministry work, JLS is being led back to the studio to reach the youth with God’s Word. Using the web and social media to form strategic partnerships in ministry he’s praying that lives will be transformed by the clarity of the Gospel.

A gritty, organ laced track produced by Thr3efourteen infused with the wide-ranging contralto sound of Gospel recording artist Roslyn Pratt. “Testify” is my testimony to the streets, to the lost; an outreach filled with the only power that brings change: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
JLS ft Roslyn Pratt – “Testify”
“Eternal Love” is a love song. From me to the One I give all praise to – for calling me, for changing me; also reflecting on His love for me shown in His willingness to die for my sins. The hook was written and performed by the very talented singer/songwriter out of Orlando, Florida – Tim Moses, who took the concept and came back with the perfect expression of God’s love & forgiveness and our love & thanksgiving.

Frontslide is the alternative to backslide – the answer to backslide. In Christ we are able to turn from sin in our lives, turn from the backsliding and frontslide back to Jesus.
JLS ft Nnenna Lovette – “Frontslide”
This song was written and recorded as the Lord was working on my heart to change my ways, to turn from the life I was living and return to my first love. Praise His name that He allowed me the time He did to make the most important change I’ve ever made. No turning back.
