GIVĒON
With one foot in classic soul and the other firmly planted in the present day, GIVĒON embodies a rare kind of duality. With a velvet-toned baritone inspired by the timeless ballads of Al Green and Luther Vandross, the Long Beach native stands as a bridge between the old-school elegance of Frank Sinatra and the urban vulnerability of James Blake. In 2020, an off-the-cuff improvisation found its way into the chorus of “Chicago Freestyle” by Canadian superstar Drake. Since then, his ascent has been nothing short of meteoric, with collaborations with Justin Bieber, Ayra Starr and Teddy Swims, as well as a nomination at the Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album. In 2025, he released Beloved, a second album that examines the aftershocks of heartbreak and emotional turmoil. Prepare to be moved.
