JNR Williams
Born and raised in East London to Caribbean parents, JNR Williams grew up in a creative, music-filled household. Early on, he was drawn to R&B and the jazz his grandmother introduced him to, inspired by artists like Louis Armstrong, Dinah Washington, and Nina Simone, as well as contemporary voices such as Frank Ocean, Tyler, The Creator, Nick Hakim, and James Blake. JNR’s rework of Dinah Washington’s “What a Difference a Day Makes” first began to gain attention after Annie Mac played it on BBC Radio 1. Following that, he released two EPs, toured across Europe, and played four sold-out headline shows in London. His track “What A Difference” was later chosen as BBC Introducing’s Track of the Week and highlighted as MistaJam’s Jam Hot on BBC Radio 1Xtra. He has collaborated with respected artists including Celeste, Jungle, Theophilus London, Joy Crookes, MJ Cole, Loyle Carner, Kojey Radical, Swindle, Kay Young, Olivia Dean, Anaïs, Anushka, and Moses Boyd. He also appears on chart-topping albums such as Loyle Carner’s Hugo (“Homerton”), Jungle’s Volcano (“Good at Breaking Hearts”), Swindle’s New World (“Lost”), and Joy Crookes’s Juniper (“Brave”).
JNR is currently working on new music.
