Raised by two church choir directors, BJ grew up in Chicago and had a love of soul and R&B instilled in him from a young age. When he was a late teen, he moved out to LA to kickstart his career, working with influential soul groups Mary Mary and Stevie wonder. With a laid back sound and smooth voice, BJ injects a sense of nostalgia into the beat driven and electronic sound crowding some R&B today. In his song "Home", listeners are treated to a true ballad to the city he calls his home. In recent years, he's worked with such artists as fellow Chicagoan Chance the Rapper, Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, and Kehlani. Link to BJ's Spotify will be posted below.
