Temperance Jones is from Birmingham, Alabama. 

At an early age, Temperance learned to appreciate fine arts from her mother, an artist and arts educator. This foundation shaped Temperance as a singer, actor, educator, and cultural contributor. 

Temperance received her Bachelor of Arts in music from Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi. Currently, she is the Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator for Opera Mississippi and has showcased her talent as a performer locally (Birmingham Children's Theatre, Red Mountain Theatre, and Birmingham Music Club), nationally (Opera Mississippi, Virginia Repertory Theatre, Natchez Festival of Music, RWS Entertainment Group, and Prather Productions), and internationally (International Performing Arts Institute in Kiefersfelden and Hamburg, Germany).

From a mother's inspiration, to performing internationally, Temperance honors the legacies that came before her and looks forward to the contributions she still has yet to make! “Performing in my hometown helps further my connection to community, and I’m so grateful.”
