JEĀN CLĀUDE
JEĀN CLĀUDE was born in Los Angeles to a French Guyanese mother and American father. Amidst the LA riots, JEĀN CLĀUDE survived a home of domestic violence and turned to music to help him find his voice. At an early age he studied classical piano, jazz, Italian opera and musical theatre.
JEĀN CLĀUDE began to write his forthcoming debut solo record while attending London Metropolitan University. The album was recorded live in Los Angeles and Paris and features JEĀN CLĀUDE’s rock band/orchestra, led by Allen Blickle of Baroness and mastered by GRAMMY Award Winning auto engineer, Alan Douches.
His debut single, “God of Grace,” is a glimpse of the prowess he holds. Swirling synths draw you in as “God of Grace” crescendos with a striking piano chord alongside JEĀN CLĀUDE’s breathtaking voice. Inspired by George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord,” this anthemic single evokes an emotional and effectual feeling in every listener. Haunting orchestral strings, horns, percussion, and synths lay ground for the poetic chorus, “Hearts are broken, chips are falling / Mends are taught, to be rough / And the sacred, grounds are shaking / and mends are taught to be rough.”
JEĀN CLĀUDE shares that, “God of Grace” was written to instill hope & unity across the world. Amidst the current pandemic, I hope the song will not only aid us in reflecting on how we’ve impacted earth & one another, but also be the anthemic healing we need. It is available now on International House of Sound. 100% of the proceeds will be supporting The Recording Academy’s MusiCares COVID Relief Fund. Read the premiere via Billboard now.

A new generation of R&B artists are coming to the forefront and Nu R&B is born. TUCH is the brainchild of Austin Taylor Tirado and Michael James Lee based in the metropolis that is L.A and born from the ashes of their previous projects: Lesands & ii. Their tastes and influences are garnered from various sources including soul, hip-hop, post-punk and classical, leaving plenty of room for experimentation and discovery.
R&B first picked up where funk and disco left off and TUCH picks up where R&B left off. Joining together rhythm and blues, hip-hop, experimental beats, elements of house, electronic additives, but never forgetting that fundamental and irresistible soul that melts in your ear. TUCH pushes genre boundaries and brings music that is fresh, fluid, lush and oh-so-polished.
