JACKIEM JOYNER
The Chart-topping and thrilling saxophonist and Sci-Fi author Jackiem Joyner is the newest artist to join Shanachie Entertainment’s illustrious roster of acclaimed Contemporary Jazz artists. Joyner has collaborated with such luminaries as Angela Bofill, Najee, Jean Carne, Ronnie Laws, Keiko Matsui, Peter White, and George Duke, among numerous others and has garnered three Billboard #1 hits and amassed eight top five singles.
The show-stopping saxophonist, revered for his rich and soulful amalgamation of Jazz, R&B, Soul, Blues, Funk and Pop music exclaims, “I’m really happy to be teaming up with Shanachie. I believe that there is a lot we will accomplish together.” Shanachie’s Vice President of Jazz A&R, Danny Weiss states, “I was already familiar with Jackiem's gorgeous tone and superb musicianship, but what blew me away was the breadth and scope of his production. He's an enormous talent!”
Joyner produced and composed the sterling genre-bending ten originals featured on his Shanachie debut, Every Part Of Me, set for release on January 16, 2026. The anticipated recording is Joyner’s most personal recording to date. “For years, I let the world see only what I could handle,” confides the saxophonist. “But there comes a moment when hiding feels heavier than honesty. This album is about me opening the door and letting every part of myself step into the light. The artist, the father, the dreamer, the man rebuilding his heart. Every part of me.”
Having recently divorced and being the ultimate girl dad, Joyner was inspired to draw inspiration on this new album from the themes of belonging, fatherhood, courage, new beginnings and the power of resilience.
