Jourden’s style of music is a brilliant fusion of neo soul, trap, classic hip hop, alternative and Caribbean beats influenced by her West Indian heritage – her mother is of Bajan descent and her father is of Trinidadian descent. As an artist, she is inspired by Erykah Badu, LaurynHill, Notorious B.I.G, Outkast, and A Tribe called Quest. Jourden hopes through her music that she can bring love and a critical perspective, while inviting listeners on her ongoing expedition of self-discovery, especially to those within her community. All of this is embodied in her personal and professional mantra, “Stay different.”
