History

Founded in 1999 JAÉIOU Records started as an R&B / Hip-Hop Duo; brothers, Keishunn L. Reed and Markus A. Reed began writing and producing together and as a result "Just Us"---J.U. for short, was born. After only a few short months "Just Us" grew into "J.U. Productions", a production team that the two brothers started. With Keishunn's experience and knowledge of the music business, younger brother Markus convinced him that they should start their own record company. The two brothers partnered with entrepreneur and businessman Sir Churchill Williams and JAÉIOU Entertainment was formed as a DBA in Houston, Harris County.

Mr. Keishunn L. Reed aka "Reed" a native of Shreveport, LA. has resided in Houston, TX. since the age of eight years. He attended both, Willowridge and Ross S. Sterling Senior High Schools. Having been an active member of every band and/or choir during his school years it was very obvious to him that upon graduation, he would seek a career in the music and entertainment business. With the help and support from "Dino", former lead singer of the platinum selling group, H-Town, he formed the trio, III ARTYST (formally known as Ammaretto) in 1991. The endless struggles to become successful in the music industry taught, groomed, prepared and encouraged Reed to continue on and make his mark in the music industry, especially in regards to Soulful Sounds of the South. With 18+ years of experience in the music industry and music business, and the support from his dedicated wife Mary L.A. Reed, Reed set out to make JAÉIOU Entertainment the premier entertainment company representing the South.

2006 marked the dawn of a new beginning with JAÉIOU Entertainment taking on a new legal structure as The JAÉIOU Company, a Texas Limited Liability Company; as Reed took a small Production Company and grew it into a successful Entertainment Company. The JAÉIOU Company LLC is one of the Bayou City's most anticipated small businesses, and after aggressively soliciting for start-up funding through traditional banking, government grants/loans, venture capitalists and equity investors Reed successfully attained SBA funding in 2006. In 2009 Reed partnered with Don Andress, naming him Senior Vice President/COO of The JAÉIOU Company LLC.

Ideology

JAÉIOU is a collective of one consonant and five vowels, the unique arrangement of the lettering is the key element to the market appeal of the JAÉIOU Brand. It encompasses an educational value for children because it promotes the recollection of the vowels. For adults the value lies within the pronunciation of the word because it often times produces inquiries and/or questions as to how the word is pronounced and what does it mean and/or stand for; this converts into word of mouth promotions. JAÉIOU is the glorified representation of the acronym J.U., which by definition simply means Just Us. Just Us means just that---It is Us and ONLY Us!

Motto

If its not Just Us…it’s just you!

Slogan

J add the vowels without Us you make no sense; in other words you’re just a consonant…
