Braxton Cook is one of this generation's most exciting voices. The uniquely talented vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer blends jazz, soul, and alt-R&B into a fresh new sound all his own. While a student at Juilliard, Braxton toured with Grammy Award-nominated trumpeter Christian Scott and has since toured and performed with Christian McBride Big Band, Jon Batiste, Tom Misch, and Marquis Hill, among others. Braxton Cook’s new EP, Black Mona Lisa, showcases his depth as an artist. The EP features hard-hitting jazz instrumental tracks like “MB” and smooth, progressive R&B songs like “The Same.” Listeners will realize themes of love and relationships throughout the EP juxtaposed to songs inspired by the journey of an independent artist and the everyday violence and struggles Black men and women face in America. This body of work is a strong statement reflective of Braxton’s life experience and inspirations.
