If you aren’t already aware, Jensen Reed is continuing to make his presence felt. And for those of you not in the know, you are about to bear witness to a relief in music. Originally from North Carolina and now based in Los Angeles, Reed forges a new artery through the vapid musical landscape with the fusion of eclectic instrumentation, heavy-hitting drums, swift vocals, and big choruses, which all contribute to his broad popular appeal.
Over the past year, Jensen spent countless hours in the studio with Christian James Hand producing and mixing his debut album, “Forget About The Cameras”. The result is a diverse blend of pop, hip-hop, and alternative music that blurs the lines of classification, yet retains fluidity and consistency throughout. At times, dark and introspective, the album still seamlessly exudes an inspired and uplifting impression. Lyrically insightful, Reed weaves the words of a journey an artist believing in himself embarks upon.
Jensen Reed’s talent as a live performer, combined with his unparalleled work ethic, have led to an impressive resume of shows. Throughout, he has gained elevated levels of respect amongst patrons and fellow artists and shared the stage with acts including Little Brother and Dilated Peoples at such venues as The Roxy and Key Club. Jensen has also obtained cinematic acclaim, having two of his songs featured in the Academy Award-nominated film The Messenger (2010), starring Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster.
You will certainly hear more from this promising artist and be sure to look for him touring Southern California. “Forget About The Cameras” is now available on iTunes and other online retailers.
