Janelle Thompson
Janelle (Propofol Doll) Thompson is a singer, songwriter, composer and entrepreneur who hails from California and now resides in Houston, TX. By day, she puts people to sleep (and wakes them back up). By night, well... Her passion is bringing great music to the world and helping entrepreneurs compete in the global marketplace. I'm not saying she's a super-heroine, but she and Wonder Woman have never been seen in the same place at the same time. It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigma...
Jay Davis
Jay Davis is an economic development and business development strategist, as well as a serial entrepreneur, songwriter and composer. All of this a far, far cry from his education as a Nuclear Engineer; but not so much when you think of making a shift from one profession that most people find incredibly boring, to another that most people find equally incredibly boring! What's most important; however, is he is a HUGE supporter of this ShaqFu project; and looks forward to kicking a lot of ass!
