“I grew up playing golf, that was my passion, that was my day to day life; playing golf and doing tournaments,” Jaafar said, speaking about the initiation of his singing career. “And then at the age of 13, my father gave me a Jackson 5 song to practice on and said I would like for you to sing this song in front of me in two weeks.
