about

"She's got the makings of a rhythm driven, Urban Underground Folk Legend." -Guy Davis

Rabasi Joss is a GRAMMY Award-nominated music producer/archivist and a Brooklyn-based soul/jazz/folk singer-songwriter.

Inspired by her decade-long work creating award-winning multimedia documentary music projects and crossing paths with such legends as Pete Seeger, Tim Robbins, Jane Fonda, and Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, she is now returning to the stage and studio as a performing & recording artist.

Joss grew up in the Washington DC area on 90s R&B and 60s folk music, with a passion for blues, jazz, soul and funk. Her influences include Bonnie Raitt, Bill Withers, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Erykah Badu, Prince, Ella Fitzgerald, Mariah Carey, Sade, Lizz Wright, Greg Brown, Pura Fe, Tricky, and the Meters. Her sound is a Mid-Atlantic blend of folk, jazz, country, blues, hip-hop and soul. She has been invited to open for Richie Havens and the Persuasions, and has performed at venues including the Blue Note, the Bitter End, the Living Room, Cats Cradle and Jammin Java.

Ten years in the making and recorded at the legendary Magic Shop Studio (Norah Jones, David Bowie), "Heliotrope" explores the evolution of American roots music, geography, and connections between intergenerational artists.
