About

JAEWAR is a Brooklyn-born, Tidewater Virginia-raised musician, producer, and creative director passionate about creating art that transcends cultural divides and brings communities together. Blending an innate, playful curiosity with a deep appreciation for his Jamaican and Haitian roots, JAEWAR fuses modern and retro soundscapes to split the difference between groove-driven funk, R&B, rock, reggae, and jazz. A power player in the Virginia music scene, he currently fronts the band Vibe Riot, a group that aspires to combine their smooth percussive flow with defiant and sexy lyrics to transcend singular genre boundaries through charismatic storytelling. To date, JAEWAR and his team have shared the stage with a multitude of diverse, forward-thinking artists including Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, Lalah Hathaway, Michael Franti, and Thievery Corporation. He and his team have also worked with industry disruptors Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Tank and the Bangas, and Big Freedia! In addition to his artistic pursuits, JAEWAR is also a devoted community builder, especially within the creative sector. One of his greatest accomplishments to date is establishing Vibe Fest, an annual grassroots music festival in the Charlottesville, Virginia area that uplifts the regional community and expands his global creative reach. JAEWAR is a proud graduate of Virginia Tech. www.VibeRiot.com
