Ahsan Watts is a soul and R&B singer from Newark, New Jersey, born November 28, 1999. Professionally known as Ahsan J.A., he catapulted to public attention when his cover of The Jackson 5's "Who's Lovin' You" went viral on YouTube. The breakthrough deepened when a second video captured an unplanned duet with Stevie Wonder performing "Ribbon in the Sky," cementing his connection to classic soul traditions. Watts credited Stevie Wonder, Frankie Lymon, and Michael Jackson as core influences; he joined his grandfather Bishop L. C. Terry Sr.'s Fellowship of Holiness Church choir in Newark at age five, where his musical foundation took root. His godfather Don Richardson, who had signed with Def Jam as a child, championed Watts' voice to industry ears. In 2012, Watts signed with Interscope Records and released a cover of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" featuring Lucki Gurlz. His 2013 single "Under" marked a more personal statement—addressing his determination to transcend Newark's street culture and carve a different path. Live performances include Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, Stevie Wonder's 17th Annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert in 2012, and appearances at NJPAC alongside Cory Booker, Ras J. Baraka, and Darlene Love. In 2014, he toured with Ashanti to Jackson Rancheria. As a Sagittarius born in late November, Watts embodies the archer's pull toward legacy, truth-telling, and spiritual grounding—themes woven through his choice of mentors and material.
