There are some voices that transcend labels and genrefication; Christian Andrew Berishaj’s is one of them. The 37-year-old Motor City producer and songwriter better known as Jmsn (stylized in all-caps) has been recording music for 25 years, and released his major label debut via Atlantic in 2006.

His latest, Soft Spot (2023, White Room Records), updates a sound that’s landed Berishaj in record store bins alongside Frank Ocean and Justin Timberlake, by sprinkling elements of pop, rock, gospel, dance and hip-hop (he’s worked with Ab-Soul in the past) in with a label-defying sound akin to the late, great, Prince.

Miami dream-punk maker Mr. Floyd Larry opens the show.

Tickets to see Jmsn play Crowbar in Ybor City on Thursday, June 27 are still available and start at $20.
