McKelly LaJaunski Thomas (born December 22, 1977) grew up in the small town of Ville Platte, Louisiana in a Christian household with a single mother and his two sisters. His love for music began at a very early age. Listening to musical influences such as: Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Babyface, and Donell Jones to name a few inspired him to one day pursue a music career of his own. At the age of 16, the shy, small town boy began singing lead in his local church choir receiving standing ovations as well as singing at weddings along with his younger sister. This provided him the confidence that he needed to chase his dream of becoming a singer. After graduating from high school in 1998, Jaunski relocated to Houston, Texas in hopes of launching a career in music.

 

A year later he and a group of friends teamed up and formed an R&B singing group and began performing at local venues in the city. After few years the group decided to part ways but Jaunski’s undying passion for music motivated him to persevere. In 2004, an unexpected phone call from a local music producer and songwriter from his hometown Ville Platte, Louisiana lead to the recording of Jaunski’s first solo album titled Beware, but due to difficult business decisions with the label the album was never released. In 2006, Jaunski packed up and relocated to Austin, Texas where he teamed up with music producer Kris Keyz where he began writing and recording songs for a new album, writing songs for other local artist, collaborating, and singing hooks on songs with a variety local hip hop artist. 

On March 3, 2010, Jaunski released his first single titled Material Things on KAZI/ 88.7 FM Radio in Austin, Texas. The song was executive produced by Kris Keyz, written and arranged by the Creole Prince himself. A week later the single was also released on KVPI/92.5 FM Radio in Ville Platte, Louisiana. Promotion for the new single began quickly with Jaunski performing at variety of small live music venues, show cases, and charity fundraisers in the city.
