Recent switch from BMI. Cradled by southern influences of gospel and soul, Alabama-native JB Somers has always had an affinity for music that connects people to themselves, each other, and to a higher power. Growing up in the Evangelical church inspired himto make music that made a difference. However, it wasn't until 2016 after the unfortunate passing of his sister that he decided to take the leap into music professionally. He credits Hozier, Sam Smith, Joni Mitchell, Chris Stapleton and Brooke Ligertwood as some of his inspirations when writing and creating music. Now based permanently in Nashville, JB aims to utilize his platform to encourage others to live freely and love every part of their identity and journey because everyone was created with a purpose.
