Every time I travel, I always look for something to shoot outside of my scheduled
work. I truly love

shooting and am always on the hunt. Last night in D.C., [JMSN](http://iamjmsn.com/)
was playing the 9:30 club and ironically his

set started at 9:30.

 

I’ve always felt R&B isn’t the same; musicianship and showman are things of the 
past. But apparently,

that’s because I’ve never been to a [JMSN ](http://iamjmsn.com/)show. My faith has
been restored in music tonight. There truly is

great music out there – I just have to step out of my box and find it.

 

Waking out on stage to a SOLD OUT venue was a guy wearing a jean jacket, white turtleneck
jeans and

some stained old Vans. I didn’t know what to expect from someone with that look,
LOL. Prior to a few days

ago, I’d never heard of [JMSN](http://iamjmsn.com/), but after tonight all of his
music will be in a playlist. The brother has soul!

Musical gumbo is what I’d call his sound. I hung out after the show and picked the
brains of his fans, and

they all had different answers. I would say that JMSN’s sound is soul, a few servings
of R&B, and some

blues added to the mix. One fan even compared him to Justin Timberlake! I saw it
a little, but to me, he’s

got more soul than Justin.

 

Backed up by a three-piece band – piano, drums, bass – [JMSN](http://iamjmsn.com/)
himself played the guitar at times as well

while he sang, and the crowd sang along with him word for word. The brother was 
in his zone and did his

thing! He had crowd interaction, the dancing, the call and response; it was truly
one hell of a show.

When JMSN wrapped and left the stage, the crowd didn’t want to leave. They all started
chanting his name

and yelled for an encore. I mean, it got to the point where he had no choice but
to send the band back out

and come out and perform once more!

 

This time, JMSN closed with “I’m Bout It.” By this point, I had a show in my own
mind he’d call I’m Bout

It! The crowd would respond, “I’m bout it” and then me in my Master P voice would
be like, “Uuuhhhh!”

LOL! Anyway, I had a great time tonight and want to send a special thanks to the
good folks over at [Sol](https://www.solrepublic.com/)

[Republic](https://www.solrepublic.com/), as well as JMSN and his management. To
