JMSN, Tattoo @ 11:00PM (Details)
JMSN’s brand of audacious R&B has him exploring strange yet pleasing sonic territory, and his appearance at Tattoo will been auditory revelation for anyone craving a dose of layered, electronic soul music. You’re likely already familiar with JMSN’s vocal, songwriting, and production skill—he’s already put in behind-the-scenes work with Usher, Ab-Soul, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. His true talent comes to light in a solo setting, with an expressive voice and a raw aesthetic that keeps audiences transfixed from the moment he steps on stage. See for yourself tonight—JMSN performs as part of the hustleGRL showcase at Tattoo at 11:00PM.
