#BlancheJ #AriLennox #SoulFunk
SoulFunk artist Blanche J (Ari Lennox tour, #1 UK Soul Radio) discusses how psychology shapes her songwriting, indie music success, and healing through R&B. This Florida A&M alumna with a psychology master's degree is redefining what it means to be an independent Black artist.
Blanche J isn't your typical R&B artist. With bachelor's and master's degrees in Psychology from Florida A&M University, she brings intellectual depth to every lyric. Her EP "voice memos b" hit #1 on UK Global Soul Radio. She's toured internationally with Grammy-nominated Ari Lennox. And she created an entire genre—SoulFunk—that blends healing, empowerment, and Black musical excellence.
This conversation explores the intersection of psychology and music, what it's really like touring with major artists like Ari Lennox, how to build an indie music career without label backing, and why Blanche calls weddings her "favorite" performances. From FAMU to international stages, from psychology research to chart-topping EPs, Blanche J represents the future of independent Black artistry.
