The title of Jarekus Singleton's album Refuse to Lose says it all. "It's like my life story in three words," Singleton says. The Mississippian is a former college basketball star. He played three years as the starting point guard for the University of Southern Mississippi, before suffering an ankle injury in 2009. "It was really frustrating — I don't think I'll ever get over it 100 percent, but in a way, I've learned to deal with it," he says. "I wouldn't change it for the world because I think that happened to make me who I am today. It had a big impact on the way my music sounds, the conviction that I write with, the conviction that I sing and play with." Singleton, who praises blues as an "honest genre," says his biggest musical inspirations are his uncle, grandfather and mother. His grandfather played guitar and was pastor of his church. He adds that he gets his biggest satisfaction from fan outreach. "When people e-mail me and Facebook me and say, 'Hey, you helped me get through a certain thing, you helped me get through this point,' that's what really means a lot to me as far as my release of my music."
