J Candeed is an energetic singer-songwriter based in Raleigh, North Carolina, traveling the country injecting his positive musical spirit into audiences far and wide. With an upbeat and evolving sound, he blends elements of the hill-country blues, traditional bluegrass and psychedelic groove using a mandola, kick and snare drum.
Born and raised in Mississippi, he was not only immersed in the hypnotic grooves of R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough but also in the traditional gospel melodies ringing from the church pews.
Embarking on a solo musical journey after 20 years of intimate collaboration was a calculated but fruitful risk, opening up new regions and audiences to introduce this infections style of crossover music to.
