Introducing our Starcrossed series, where we chat with an artist veteran and an emerging artist within the same genre! In this week’s episode, it’s all about R&B. Host Chris Batstone sits down with established JUNO-Award winner JRDN (Nova Scotia) and rising singer-songwriter Ife Alaba (Newfoundland). JRDN discusses his various early influences that shaped him to be the R&B musician he is today, while Ife Alaba touches upon her upbringing, and what led her from Nigeria to South Africa and all the way to Memorial University.
