Khamari is a Boston-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for his soulful blend of R&B, old soul, and alt-rock influences. A classically trained musician who picked up the violin at age four, Khamari honed his sound with a deeply personal, self-taught approach that led to the acclaimed release of his debut EP Eldorado in 2020, followed by his major label debut A Brief Nirvana in 2023, which to date has earned over 130 million cumulative streams across standout tracks like “Doctor, My Eyes” and “These Four Walls.” His latest work, including the introspective single “Head in a Jar,” reflects his continued evolution as a storyteller and producer, drawing inspiration from icons like D’Angelo, Stevie Wonder, Jeff Buckley, Mazzy Star, and even director Christopher Nolan. Rooted in vulnerability and cinematic emotion, Khamari’s music captures the universal pursuit of connection and meaning, cementing his place as one of R&B’s most compelling new voices.
