| By the grace of our loving God, the NMJ Brothers started this Christian band in 1984 in their boyhood days when they were not even in their teens. The eldest brother Naveen Jebaraj who was so musically talented even during childhood, started composing music when he was barely 10 and led the band’s recording. By age 13, he was serving in our Lord’s church as an organist and was also winning first prizes in inter district music competitions. The next brother Mathan Jebaraj was gifted in writing poetry from childhood and at age 9, started writing lyrics for the band’s songs. He is also the lead singer for NMJ Brothers. Mathan, who had started performing on stage from age 5, had also become very skilled in South Indian classical (Carnatic) music and western classical. The youngest brother Jeyan, who has been blessed with awesome talents by our God, joined the band as the alternate lead singer at the age of 3 and began helping in the recording. Mathan and Jeyan were singing with various choirs at that time. |

| The NMJ Brothers band started playing their songs in the local churches and Christian events, which started drawing attention and appreciation. In competitions held between the Church districts, by God’s abundant blessing, the brothers were showered with top prizes in singing and playing musical instruments. That helped in spreading God’s word more with the brothers’ music ministry. They grew up, continuing to reach people’s hearts through our Lord’s words and rich music. All of them got into computer related profession and studies, and the brothers regrouped in the USA. The youngest brother Jeyan took charge of the technical aspects of the recording. The eldest brother Naveen diversified to different instruments and orchestration, exploring new horizons of music. |
| Inspired by all that the band had gone through, and by the way God has always guarded the brothers whenever there were periods of tribulation, Mathan had penned some soul stirring Christian lyrics to reach out to hearts across the globe. This jump-started a new phase of the band’s recording and live performances. Now the NMJ brothers are continuing their journey of music ministry, growing day by day with our God’s wonderful blessing.We invite you to share with us, the joy of the Lord’s word and the rich music He created that we present to you. |
