2014 was a banner year for Jared Pellerin. With the independentrelease of Floating While Dreaming, Pell established himself as apremiere force in the music world. The first major statement of aserious artist, Floating While Dreaming garnered ecstatic pressacross the board, including FADER, Billboard, Complex, and
many others. The album allowed Pell to flex his musical muscle
while forging his own identity.
Though he hails from N’awlins, Pell’s sonics are more of an
eclectic barrage of ethereal grooves than the raw bounce hallmark
of the region. He seamlessly and tactfully flips from affectionate
wordsmith to hook-smashing crooner on exceptional cuts like “The
Never” and “Eleven:11.” Another album highlight “Runaway”
captures Pell’s sense of striving, of rap as survival and profession,
not purely a game of easy spoils, as he spits verses full of
personal reflection.
Pell knows the importance of dreams. Hurricane Katrina forced
Pell’s family to move to Jackson, Mississippi, when Pell was only
fourteen. “All I was able to take with me from New Orleans was
the musical culture I grew up in, not my possessions, only
memories and life lessons,” he says, “creating a new life from
scratch teaches you resilience.”
That same spirit of resilience is what took Pell from his day job at
the Dollar Store (as chronicled in the song “Dollar Store”) to a
nation-wide tour spanning over twenty-five states, including
several shows at SXSW in Austin, Texas, as well as the BUKU
Music + Art festival in his hometown of New Orleans. The massive
amount of touring for Floating While Dreaming allowed Pell to
hone his already-impressive live show, a delicate balance of laidback
singing and passionate rapping that hits both the mind and
the heart with equal force.
With over three million streams on Spotify since its release,
Floating While Dreaming represents the start of Pell’s career, an
album about the time between dreaming and doing, the moments
spent waiting for the journey to start. As a writer, rapper, and
singer, Pell’s talent is formidable, and his skills are still growing.
The next step of Pell’s journey comes in 2015, with an
international tour and a new album in the works.
Having already landed spots on Complex’s Top 25 Rappers To
Know in 2014, Pigeons & Planes Top 10 Rappers to Know Before
They Blow, and Spotify’s Predicted Music Stars of 2015, Pell is
poised to surpass even his wildest dreams in the year to come.
