SWEET STICKY JAM is a collective of friends who came together to jam. From that, all else grew! Our music is an eclectic mix of original anthems, influenced by Hip-Hop, Funk, Blues, RnB, Gospel, House, Reggae and Jazz. It’s music from the soul which poured out in jam sessions. It’s sweet, sticky and uniquely ours, to be shared with all. EP + singles coming 2026!

A singer-songwriter at his core, using the guitar as a foundation, his music weaves together raw vocal elements of soul with jazz and blues-inspired melodies and harmony. Combining rich guitar tones and complex, dynamic vocal lines, his unique sound and musical choices place him stylistically somewhere between Frank Ocean and Jeff Buckley.
