C. Terry Sr, in his Fellowship of Holiness Church choir in Newark, NJ, at the age of five. His godfather, Don Richardson, who signed a contract with Def Jam Recordings as a child, brought attention to Ahsan's voice.[4][5] After his signing with Interscope Records in 2012,[6] Ahsan performed a cover of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," featuring Lucki Gurlz.[7] In November 2013, his single "Under" was released. The song gave attention to Ahsan's motivation to avoid succumbing to the ghetto lifestyles of his native Newark.[5][9][10][11] Among his live appearances are Arthur Ashe Kids' Day and at Stevie Wonder's 17th Annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert in 2012.[12] He has performed in Newark as guest of Mayor Cory Booker,[13] Newark mayoral candidate, Ras J. Baraka.,[14] and Darlene Love at NJPAC.[15] In 2014, Ahsan toured with Ashanti to Jackson Rancheria.[16] References1. ^http://www.njtvonline.org/news/arts-culture-2/newark-teen-uses-voice-to-prevent-youth-from-falling-under/ [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]2. ^1 {{cite news |first=Alys |last=Francis |title=Stevie Wonder crashes boy's recording session |date=December 13, 2012 |publisher=News Nine MSN |location=Australia |url=http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/2012/12/13/17/20/stevie-wonder-crashes-boy-s-recording-session |accessdate=2013-03-26 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130327104442/http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/2012/12/13/17/20/stevie-wonder-crashes-boy-s-recording-session |archivedate=March 27, 2013 }} 3. ^1 {{cite web| first = Lynn| last = Barker| title = Ahsan: We're "Lovin'" This Soul Man| date = May 28, 2012| url = http://www.kidzworld.com/article/26961-ahsan-were-lovin-this-soul-man| work = Kidzworld}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news| title = Ashan Under| publisher = Hype Access| date = November 4, 2013| url = http://hypeaccess.com/ahsan-under/| accessdate = March 27, 2014| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20160303212537/http://hypeaccess.com/ahsan-under/| archivedate = March 3, 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite web| title = Ahsan Watts Bio| publisher = EP Entertainment| url = http://epentertainmentllc.com/artist/ahsan-watts/| accessdate = March 26, 2013| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20130718095149/http://epentertainmentllc.com/artist/ahsan-watts| archivedate = July 18, 2013}} 6. ^1 {{cite web| first = Dayalan "DeeKay"| last = Kulendran| title = Young Interscope artist Ahsan covers Jackson 5's "Who's Loving You" [Video]| publisher = Soul Culture| date = May 3, 2012| url = http://soulculture.com/music-blog/newly-signed-interscope-artist-ahsan-covers-jackson-5s-whos-loving-you/| accessdate = March 26, 2013}} 7. ^1 {{cite web| title = Ahsan's Powerful New Music Video Depicts A Day In The Life On The Jersey Streets| publisher = The Huffington Post| date = November 19, 2013| url = http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/19/ahsan-music-video_n_4296875.html| accessdate = March 26, 2013}} 8. ^1 {{cite web| last = Langevine| first = Kurt| title = Ashan Watts; Under| publisher = TKB Report| date = December 22, 2013| url = http://www.thetkbreport.com/2013/12/22/ahsan-wattsunder/| accessdate = March 26, 2013}} 9. ^1 {{cite web| last = Simmons| first = Russell| authorlink = Russell Simmons| title = The Forgotten Ones by Russell Simmons| work = Global Grind| date = November 19, 2013| url = http://globalgrind.com/2013/11/19/the-forgotten-ones-by-russell-simmons/| accessdate = March 26, 2013}} 10. ^1 {{cite web| last = Baltin| first = Steve| title = Stevie Wonder Calls for Stronger Gun Laws During House Full of Toys Benefit| work = Rolling Stone| date = December 16, 2012| url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/stevie-wonder-calls-for-stronger-gun-laws-during-house-full-of-toys-benefit-20121216| accessdate = March 27, 2014}} 11. ^1 {{cite web |last = Farrell |first = Tom |title = Newark mayor Cory Booker delivered his sixth State of the City address at NJPAC |work = The Star-Ledger |date = March 1, 2012 |url = http://photos.nj.com/star-ledger/2012/03/newark_mayor_cory_booker_deliv_4.html |accessdate = March 26, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140328011733/http://photos.nj.com/star-ledger/2012/03/newark_mayor_cory_booker_deliv_4.html |archive-date = 2014-03-28 |dead-url = yes |df = }} 12. ^1 {{cite web| last = Giambuso| first = David| title = Newark mayor's race: Baraka hosts star-studded birthday fundraiser| work = The Star-Ledger| date = March 26, 2014| url = http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2014/03/baraka_hosts_star-studded_birthday_fundraiser.html#incart_river_default| accessdate = March 26, 2013}} 13. ^1 {{cite web| last = Mr. C| title = PLANET CHOCKO – art/music/movies/beyond| date = December 24, 2012| url = http://www.planetchocko.com/?p=14811| work = Planet Chocko| accessdate = May 23, 2016}} 14. ^1 {{cite press release| title = Ashanti| publisher = Jackson Rancheria| date =| url = http://www.jacksoncasino.com/entertainment/full-schedule/78?view=event| accessdate = March 26, 2014| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140402172745/http://www.jacksoncasino.com/entertainment/full-schedule/78?view=event| archivedate = April 2, 2014}} }} External links
