jurrell

Having grown up in the Canadian mecca of music Toronto, Ontario, jurrell has always had a truly gifted ear for music which makes him a captivating up and coming independent artist. With a love for writing infectious, yet simple and satisfying music jurrell looks to accomplish more than just writing relatable narratives into catchy songs. Inspired greatly by John Mayer from the tender age of 13, jurrell embarked on his music journey by picking up the guitar and from there, the music would not stop flowing. Later in life, the singer-songwriter started exploring artists like the 1975, COIN, Lany, the neighbourhood, which lead him to mixing soft rock and indie alt-pop in his songwriting. Genres such as neo-soul and R&B would be discovered later and the influences of daniel cesar, Nao, leon bridges, emawk, SiR, and marc e. bassy would start to creep in his feel as well.


Having struggled with depression, anxiety, a difficult early homelife, and the overwhelming feeling of not belonging to any particular race due to biracial ambiguity, music was often the only escape. Over the years, jurrell has also slowly gained a loyal following through his online presence and preformances at a multitude of renowned venues and festivals including Massey Hall, Harbourfront ampitheatre (Toronto), Art Walk and Salsa on St. Clair.


Armed with big dreams and plenty of energy to spare, jurrell seeks to positively influence the world and connect with like-minded individuals through music
