JJJJJerome Ellis

JJJJJerome Ellis is a super talented composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and poet who's all about blending experimental sounds with deep, personal themes. Based in New York, he's gained recognition for his innovative work that often incorporates his own experiences with stuttering—turning what some might see as a challenge into a powerful artistic tool. His 2021 album "The Clearing," released on NNA Tapes, is a standout, exploring ideas of dysfluency, Blackness, and time through a mix of spoken word, saxophone, and electronic elements. It's like he's inviting listeners into a reflective space where music and language dance around each other in unexpected ways.

Beyond that, Ellis has dropped intriguing projects like "Fountain #3" and "Loops of Retreat," and he's collaborated with artists in theater and performance art scenes. His live shows and compositions, such as the "Compline in Nine Movements," often feel like meditative journeys, drawing from influences like jazz, ambient music, and poetry. If you're into boundary-pushing tunes that make you think, Jerome's discography is definitely worth diving into—it's thoughtful, creative, and totally unique.
