Survivor Q, real name Jermaine was born and raised in Inglewood, California on March 31st. After losing his brother at the age of 16, he dropped out of school and became part of a gang. That led him to smoking and drinking, making a lot of bad decisions, and experiencing a lot of bad things. He grew up in the church as a little boy so he knew who God was. By God's grace, he never lost his faith. Rededicated his life to Christ in 2005, and started over.
