Jimmy Poindexter is a Los Angeles recording artist and producer known for his fearless experimentation and ever-evolving sound. After losing his mother and seeing his father incarcerated, he recorded the WELCOME TO DARKNESS trilogy (2019) in his car while homeless, setting the stage for a career defined by risk-taking. His breakthrough album GNARLY (2021) — blending jazz, gospel, pop, and hip-hop — was entirely self-funded and backed by an ambitious rollout with LA billboards, a plane banner, and a live band concert. He expanded further with *GHETTOLAND (2022), praised for its daring mix of styles and viral single “*UNCULTURED.” Balancing personal projects like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY (2023) and CRUEL WORLD (2025) with conceptual “character albums” like SHAZAM (2023) and DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU. (2024), Poindexter has built a reputation as a visionary unafraid to blur genres, narratives, and identities.
