The music of JMSN is pure cinema. It’s the work of 25-year-old songwriter-producer-videographer Christian Berishaj, who has been a proficient user of Pro Tools since the age 12. His debut album “” Priscilla” “ is filled with hypnotic vocals, skeletal instrumentals and enough production sheen to fill a movieplex. With the soul of Little Dragon, and Active Child’s stirring theatrics, the album comes after a turbulent year for Berishaj. His turmoil has yielded something vivid, and unapologetically revealing, with autobiographical touches including actual voicemails left by concerned loved ones. JMSN is a true one-man show, with Berishaj writing, mixing and producing, not to mention taking care of the visuals – check out the seven videos that accompany the songs on the album.
