Unboxed Vol. 43: JaRon Marshal Is Bringing Futuristic Vibes To Soul Music

The acclaimed keyboardist talks about his music roots in Louisiana, working with the Black Pumas, and his latest solo project.

Born in Loreauville, Louisiana, he describes his sound as “the marriage between funk, jazz, R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop,” and his dexterous keyboard playing has garnered him international acclaim. Since 2018, Marshall has been the keyboardist for the Black Pumas, a psychedelic soul/rock band that has earned seven Grammy nominations and has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best live performers in music today. From a session player to being a part of one of the most eclectic and acclaimed groups working today, Marshall said that the connection was organic since he first met his bandmates who are now in demand across the globe.
