Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, JMSN (pronounced “Jameson”) has established himself as one of the music industry’s most respected performers and producers. Over a career spanning more than a decade, he has released 8 studio albums and 2 live albums, earning acclaim for his unforgettable live shows, signature sound, and self-directed visuals.

A true DIY trailblazer, JMSN empowers independent artists to pursue their goals on their own terms. His talents have drawn praise from legends like Usher and Thomas McClary (founding member of The Commodores), and he has collaborated with top names including Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, J. Cole, The Game, Tyga, Ab-Soul, Kaytranada, Sada Baby, Sango, Ta-ku, Freddie Gibbs, and many more.

Following a 100-show world tour behind his acclaimed album Soft Spot, songs like “Soft Spot,” “Love Me,” and “Cherry Pop” became viral favorites, cementing his reputation as a standout voice in modern soul. His latest release, "it’s only about u if you think it is"…, is streaming everywhere now.

Twenty-one-year-old Hyde Park native Alex Wiley is an increasingly important player of a movement of Chicago hip-hop artists–with Chance the Rapper at the forefront–who are uniting the city’s history of smart, bohemian backpacker rap with cunning pop sensibilities that have helped earn them a far broader audience than their biting social commentary and emotionally raw personal narratives might suggest.
