Jalen Ngonda: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Jalen Ngonda

Jalen Ngonda is a singer and songwriter working in the overlap of rock/pop and retro soul, with a sound shaped by classic rhythm-and-blues phrasing and contemporary restraint. His recorded audience is sizable, with high Spotify popularity and hundreds of thousands of followers, but the material is built to hold up in a room. In New York City, he brings that approach to the Gramercy Theatre for a self-titled set. His performances favor clarity over spectacle, keeping the focus on voice, groove, and closely written songs.
