He has worked across Def Jam Recordings, Epic Records, Motown, and Republic Records, launching the careers of Future, Logic, Amy Winehouse, and Alessia Cara—to name a few.

Jernigan, a native Floridian from Daytona Beach, is a Valedictorian graduate of NYU where he earned a Master of Arts in Music Business.
