Montell Fish en concert à Rock en Seine
Sometimes, when an artist shares their influences, they’re painting a subtle self-portrait. That’s exactly the case with Montell Fish, who never misses a chance to praise Prince, Lauryn Hill and Jimi Hendrix in interviews – a trio that gives a clear sense of the essence of his own music, infused with soul, hip-hop, R&B, funk, rock and even gospel. A true multi-talent from Pittsburgh, his most recent album, Charlotte (September 2024), shattered genre boundaries just as his previous record, Jamie, did two years earlier. Also known under the alias DJ Gummy Bear, Montell Fish crafts lyrics rich in spirituality and introspection. And on stage, he’s right in his element – like a fish in water!
