HMM... Durand Bernarr

Durand Bernarr is dismantling the wall between the church pew and the comedy club. A longtime secret weapon for Erykah Badu and Anderson .Paak, Bernarr has honed a 'Gangster Musical Theatre' aesthetic that pairs elite technical vocalism with high-concept camp. We are seeing a sharp rise in conviction scores following the announcement of his self-titled album and a strategic pivot into more expansive, collaborative songwriting. Watch for a transition from the industry's favorite backing vocalist to a singular R&B protagonist as his latest single, 'Wild Ride,' begins hitting key editorial rotations.
