Legally Blynd: Redefining the Sound of Soul, Gospel, and Blues for a New Generation
Legally Blynd is a powerhouse collective reshaping the music landscape with a fearless fusion of gospel, blues, soul, and jazz. Founded by visionary guitarist and producer John “Jubu” Smith, the group transcends genre boundaries to create music that is both timeless and groundbreaking.
The band is comprised of world-class musicians whose résumés read like a who’s who of modern music. Collectively, they have performed with global icons including Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Garth Brooks, Fantasia, Jamie Foxx, and many more. This all-star pedigree fuels Legally Blynd’s unmatched artistry and magnetic stage presence.
From their self-titled debut in 2007 to their critically acclaimed sophomore release, You (2015), Legally Blynd has built a reputation for crafting songs that are as thought-provoking as they are sonically rich. Their music is a celebration of diversity, connection, and the unifying power of sound—captivating audiences in intimate clubs, major festivals, and everything in between.
With each performance and new release, Legally Blynd challenges the status quo while honoring the deep traditions of soul and gospel. Their mission is simple yet profound: to bring people together through music that speaks to the heart, the mind, and the spirit.
Legally Blynd is more than a band—it’s a movement.
