Johnathan Ramon Harper was born the second child of three to Theodore and Rosetta Harper on December 13, 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia. At an early age Johnathan displayed an interest in drama, singing, acting. and karate. All through-out his early childhood years, he was involved in many drama and acting performances such as singing in several different church choirs, acted in plays and even directed his own talent show while performing as a singer and dancer before he was 15 years old. Johnathan liked to dance and do karate moves he had seen on TV and it was obvious that he had a special talent for drama and anything associated with it. His passion for dancing lead him to become the lead dancer for M3 Dance Company. At the age of 15, Johnathan met Master Percy Brown while playing basketball at a local YMCA. Master Brown invited him to the martial art class he was teaching at the YMCA. Johnathan immediately saw the connection between martial arts and dancing and became extremely interested in developing himself as a true martial artist as he saw it as a way to positively better himself. He joined Master Brown's school in 2000 and never regretted it. At the age of 18, Johnathan had earned his 1st Dan Black Belt and had won numerous trophies and medals at tournaments and demonstrations he participated in and soon began to assist Master Brown as a assistant instructor of Tang Soo Do. At the age of 20 Johnathon had earned his 2nd Dan Black Belt under Master Brown. Johnathan is currently pursuing a comedy career to compliment his acting dancing and martial art skills and one day will be a well known personality.
