His well known trademark is hollering "Ladies and Gentlemen!" at the beginning, and sometimes at the end of the tracks he has contributed to.
He made an early appearance on Erick Sermon's 1995 album Double or Nothing performing on a skit and collaborating with Sermon on "Man Above".
Jazze Pha's first hit was the club anthem from Tela, "Sho Nuff", the label banner of the producer's company.
His first production was for Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gill on supergroup LSG's first album, with the fresh "Let A Playa Get His Freak On", in 1997.
Other artists he has collaborated with include Notorious B.I.G, Nelly, Ludacris, T.I., U.G.K., Lil Wayne, Nate Dogg, Ras Kass, Trick Daddy, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Petey Pablo, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, Big Boi, Ciara, Aaliyah, Girlicious and Eightball & MJG.
Pha also helped Ciara start out her career. He produced the hit single, which was titled "1, 2 Step", which featured Missy Elliott, which was included on her debut album which was named Goodies, which was released in 2004. He also produced the tracks which were called "Thug Style", "Pick Up the Phone", and "Lookin' at You". Two years later in 2006, he produced her hit single, which was called "Get Up", the song featured Chamillionaire, and was included on her album named Ciara: The Evolution. The two have not worked since then,because Pha says they have not seen eye-to-eye.

Could I change the way you feel?
Could I make you see there's more than holding on?
Can you ever let your heart believe again?
So this is where we are
And this is all that life has got to give
Maybe all that's left is just to live
Caught up in when or whether
I didn't want to tell a lie
But I saw forever there in your eyes
So, what you're trying to say?
Do you really think it's worth just walking away?
Well, is it fair to tell me I'm to blame?
Well, you know, you've got to choose
And you know, you are afraid of what you'll lose
How can you believe what just ain't true?
Caught up in when or whether
I didn't want to tell a lie
But I saw forever there in your eyes
I know, it's now or never
How could you ever say goodbye
When you see forever here in my eyes?
Baby forgive me
'Cause I got nothin' left to hide
Don't ever leave me
'Cause there'll be nothin' left inside
Could I change the way you feel?
Could I make you see there's more than holding on?
Could you ever let your heart believe again?
Caught up in when or whether
I didn't want to tell a lie
But I saw forever there in your eyes
I know, it's now or never
How could you ever say goodbye
When you see forever here in my eyes?
