Contemporary R&B and soul from Ottawa

Almyr Jules is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Ottawa making contemporary R&B and soul. Think Allen Stone’s grit, Leon Bridges’ vintage warmth and Bruno Mars’ feel for a groove.

His sound is soul at the core, with modern R&B rhythms, a little funk, and a voice that does the heavy lifting. He writes about love, longing and second chances, and he sings them like he means it.

Live, he reads the room. A solo set with just his guitar feels like a conversation; a full band night ends on the dance floor.

Start with Essentials Vol. 1: 13 songs from 2020 to 2026, including “Starlight,” “If You Come Back For More” and his collaborations with JW-Jones and Jahmeema.

“Almyr’s music is a seamless fusion of nostalgia and contemporary flair. With his velvety vocals and emotive lyrics, he effortlessly transports listeners.”
