  Blending pop, disco, soul and R&B, J3M is ready to paint pictures, tell stories, and share melodies that will live in your head rent-free. His summer bop "SPACE AND TIME" made its debut on CBC Q in June 2022, beckoning disco lovers to dance floors across the nation! The award-winning singer/songwriter/pianist has backed powerhouse artists such as Tanika Charles, Zaki Ibrahim, TiKA, Amaal, The OBGMs, Wild Black, James Baley and more, both locally and internationally. Sharing stages with Kehlani, Weezer, Brandy, July Talk, K'Naan, Neon Dreams and the Arkells (just to name a few), J3M is no stranger to the industry. He's played everywhere from POP Montreal, Ottawa/Toronto/Saskatoon/Regina Pride, Afropunk Paris, Osheaga, SXSW and even on Carnival cruise lines. Based in Toronto, but born in Ottawa with Guyanese roots, J3M has been playing and singing for as long as he can remember. So, whether it’s lighting up rooms with his sharp writing, production and arranging skills or bringing down the house with a vivacious live performance, the queer artist is aimed and ready to take the world by storm! His highly anticipated debut EP “AFRONAUT” was released on August 5th, 2022 Show less
