Chicago-based vocalist and songwriter Jawson Dell, known for his captivating blend of Alternative R&B, Funk, and Soul, is excited to announce the release of his latest single, ‘Refresh’. This new track is a reflection of Jawson’s unique approach to songwriting and his journey from a childhood passion for music to becoming a rising star in the Chicago music scene.

Originally from Colorado, Jawson Dell's musical journey began at the age of eight with violin lessons, but his true love was always singing. Inspired by the early days of American Idol, Jawson was an avid shower singer who recorded original songs on his cassette radio. Growing up, he immersed himself in a variety of musical genres, including Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Motown, Rock, and Classical, which continue to influence his sound today.

Despite pursuing a double major in business and accounting, Jawson never let go of his musical dreams. He utilized the extra credits required for his CPA to take vocal lessons and remained active in his school orchestra. After graduation, Jawson moved to Chicago, where he began singing at his local church and participating in the city’s vibrant open mic scene.

The Covid-19 pandemic served as a turning point for Jawson, reigniting his passion for songwriting. He released his debut single, ‘Movin On’, in 2021, marking the beginning of his professional music career. Jawson’s creative process is deeply personal and introspective. He writes all his music from scratch, starting with the melody before moving on to the lyrics. Once the foundation is set, he collaborates with his producer to craft the instrumentation.

His latest single, ‘Refresh’, is a testament to Jawson's evolving artistry. The song is inspired by the feeling of being rejuvenated and the warmth that comes from spending time with supportive, genuine people.

‘Refresh’ plays off the metaphor of water, symbolizing the nourishment and clarity that come from positive relationships. The track also underscores the idea that the best things in life are free, blending elements of soul, funk, and R&B to create a sound that is both timeless and modern.

On the release, Jawson Dell shares, “There is nothing better than refreshing interactions with good people”.

Jawson Dell has been making waves in the Chicago music scene, releasing three new singles this year and performing at various venues across the city. As he prepares for the release of his debut EP, Still Waters, set for March 2025, Jawson is excited to continue sharing his music with the world.
