During the "Madea's Farewell Play Tour" stop in Columbus, Georgia, Jamysa Lytes Hutchins caught the attention of Tyler Perry.

She was singing in the audience during the event at the Columbus Civic Center when Tyler heard it and invited her to sing on-stage for him.

TYLER DISCOVERED A TALENT

Known for discovering artists, Perry quickly set up a meeting for her to meet with RCA Records, where she is set to join the likes of Gladys Knight, Donnie McClurkin, Rance Allen, Mary J. Blige, Freddie Jackson, and Boyz II Men.

A BEAUTIFUL CHANCE

When Tyler asked a woman to bring a microphone to her, he asked her to sing again and she quickly did without hesitation.

“So, I sang the song again and he said he really liked it. He said, ‘I don’t know you or your name, but I need you.' He had someone come get my information and here we are.”
