Hello

I am the proud mother of this handsome young man below. My son's name is Jamal Hammond aka E.C.H.O. He is an aspiring actor, model, singer & dancer. He is currently a student at Benjamin Tasker Middle School located in Bowie, Md, where he is an 8th grader. He recently joined Elen’s Kids Talent Agency in Cranford NJ, and he performs around the Metropolitan area. He worked with Kids International Talent Agency and performed with Visions Performing Arts Group under the direction of Ms. Tyronda Boone. Jamal is a very caring, kind, loving and funny young man. He has a gift for what he does and it shows. My son has the opportunity to train with renowned choreographer, Mr. Desmond Walker who is the co-owner & artistic director of I-Live Center of the Arts and CEO of DW Choreography, and was a choreographer that worked with a Grammy award winning artist on BET's Celebration of Gospel 2013. Donnie McClurkin has said of this young man “Desmond Walker is one of the best choreographers that he has ever seen”. It is for this reason that I have started a gofundme website the proceeds of this site along with what his father & I can provide will assist him to travel to Saint Mary’s Georgia, August 2014 to make his opportunity into a reality. http://www.gofundme.com/7kybto. Jamal's motto is: "Don't let anyone take your dreams for granted, and always aspire to be the Best". Let's help him to reach his DREAMS and BE THE BEST. I thank you in advance and I appreciate anything you can do to help.

Jamal a.k.a. - E.C.H.O. *Eyes Closed Heart Open*.
