FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION 〰️

“I’m incredibly excited to finally share this album with the world. It’s been a journey of creativity, growth, and collaboration, and I feel honored to have worked with some truly phenomenal artists on this project. From the soulful brilliance of Keyon Harrold and India Carney, to the deep grooves of Derrick Hodge, the rhythmic genius of Luke Titus, Mike Mitchell, Miguel Russell and JongKuk Kim, to the lyrical power of Elton Aura — each artist brought something special that helped elevate the music in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I also had the immense privilege of creating alongside my mother, D’Erania Stampley, whose influence on my life and music runs deep. Voices like Motswedi Modiba, Michael Blume, Nicola Caminiti, Stefan Haerle and many more contributed to making this album a true reflection of community, exploration, and soul. I’m proud of what we’ve created together, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”

  • BEST ALBUM COVER

    Stampley’s sophomore studio album, What A Time spotlights a fierce affection for fusing genres of jazz, gospel, classical, hip-hop, and R&B into a dynamic vibe that carries an old-soul charm told through vibrant lead lines, deeply emotive arrangements, and special guests who radiate with eclectic auras. At the heart of What A Time is Jahari’s collaboration with his mother/bassist/saxophonist D’Erania Stampley. The love shines through every composition whether tackling narratives of feeling stifled, lost freedoms, saying goodbye, and embracing the moment.
