A FRESH TAKE ON THE GENRE BLENDING IN RAP - Jazz Ingram is a name you need to know. Effortlessly mixing lo-fi indie and rap/hip-hop together, Jazz Ingram gives us a unique and versatile sound. Since the release of their first project Baby New Years in 2017, they just keep leveling up their soundscape. Now 21-years-old, Ingram continues to fascinate us by creating music that’s a portal into their own world.

Ingram makes music that can appeal to everyone - you’ll fall in love with a song in their discography no matter what. Often collaborating with producers your friend, kami & john trainum, the sound of Jazz Ingram always showcases a plethora of sounds and elements. With their latest album, i coulda been onika 3, Ingram furthers our understanding of their sound full of energy and multiple phases. With the intro song, “on the phone <3,” the mellow and smooth melody includes a little guitar tune with a mix of echoing vocals, and a melancholic beat that perfectly starts off the album. With the following songs after, Ingram seems to add more energy within each song, you’ll be wowed with every one of them.

Jazz Ingram is an artist to keep an ear out for, but in the meantime, listen to i coulda been onika 3 on all music streaming platforms and read below to get some insight from Penelope on the new album they’re already working on.

So first, it’s about healing. I’ve always been attracted to light. Light can help you see or do the opposite. Some people will see your light and others can’t see through it. Shedding anything hurts. When you’re left alone you can only question yourself. The only route to light is through illuminating darkness. Within yourself for yourself. When you do this you create light.

Second, it’s about illumination. I changed my name to Penelope. I think I got what I wanted, or thought I wanted, initially out of music but with time I lost sight and ownership of everything I thought defined me. My stage name was my given name I lost ownership of that too. I spiraled all of 2019, then a friend told me to let go.

Third, comes letting go. I read a lot about consciousness. I want to allow my supraconscious to make these songs, in order to say what I know rather than what I think.
