You may have been thrown off from a first glance from his style, tattoos and age, that he'd possess a soulful voice such as his. He totally embraces his foundation; church and the streets which is reflected in personality and music. The seemingly long delay of his debut Motown Records "In My Mind" hasn't seemed to impact the support from industry friends and fans. The February 19th release, comes after his fellow R&B crooners anticipated big wins at this week's 58th Grammy Awards.
Highly anticipated, "In My Mind" exhibits BJ's strength as not just a songwriter but producer and vocalist.

"In My Mind" captures relatable singles such as "Church," "Love Inside," "Man's World" and "Resume." The album balances tracks suitable for radio as well as the bedroom. Admitting that R&B is in a new place, BJ is determined to stick to what feels right to him opposed to what's currently trending. Stream his album "In My Mind" below.
