New AlbumR&B[eyond]Summer 2026
![R&B[eyond] album cover](images/rnbeyond.jpeg)
A genre-defying journey through soul, R&B, jazz, and cinematic soundscapes. Coming soon.
A Chicago South Side–born vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and creative director whose work bridges soul, R&B, jazz, and cinematic soundscapes.
Raised in the church and influenced early on by his mother—a gifted vocalist—his musical foundation was shaped through years of choir singing, which continues to inform his emotive, technically precise vocal approach.
Currently working as a vocal/session coach, background vocalist, songwriter, and music supervisor, Manasseh is widely regarded as a trusted collaborator and “go-to” creative for artists across genres.
His song “Inches” was featured on Tyler Perry's BET hit series Sistas. He has toured with Grammy-nominated jazz trumpeter Marquis Hill and joined international pop star JoJo on her Too Much To Say Tour.
