The band has a dedicated management team and a group of skilful dancers and artists.Like the name suggests, the members of the group say Jam is all about worshipping and serving God through music. And having fun while at it.  The group has shared the stage with some of the kings and queens of the gospel industry including the likes of Winnie Mashaba, Solly Mahlangu, Zaza of Obrigado Namhla Nkosi fame and South African gospel group Joyous celebration. This year, the group's management it fit to give their fans what they have been demanding for a long time- a DVD.

'This group is all about preaching the gospel and changing people's lives through our music.A lot of people have been asking us to make a DVD of our show so that they can keep watching from the comfort of their homes, so we decided to make their wish a reality this year,' said one of the members, Tshepo Lesole.An excited Lesole also revealed a few details about the concert. He said: 'This show is going to be interesting. We have built a mixed bag of a product to cater for everyone across the gospel divide: From traditional African hymns to American worship, Contemporary worship to Kwasa Kwasa praise, all this to usher the audience into His presence' he said.

The group has received recognition in Namibia where they performed at the National Theatre of Namibia.They also put on a musical play, The Rehersal, at the Safari Hotel Resort. The play was about Setswana culture and dance through.Lesole said they endeavour to engage the youth and celebrate the culture of worship through music and art. 'This group is a foundation on which we want to see the Lord raising many young men and women standing up and producing their own solo albums, spreading the gospel through music! JIC is a platform that discovers, nurtures and guides these young artists until such a time when their wings are strong enough to fly by themselves,' he said. Well-known gospel artists in the group include the likes of Joel Rebaone, Tshepo Lesole, Doba and O.T who has recently released his album. JIC is also made up of upcoming gospel artists.
