This new album, "Every Part of Me," is his first release on his new record label Shanachie Entertainment. Shanachie is the home of KeKe Wyatt, Meshell Ndegeocello, Keiko Matsui, George Clinton, Kim Waters and Paul Taylor to name a few. The debut project of Jackiem Joyner on Shanachie will be released January 16, 2026.

"Danny, the V.P., he reached out to me...started a conversation," Jackiem said when I asked about his new record label deal with Shanachie. "He asked where I'm trying to go with my music...I felt it was the right time (to sign)."

The "Every Part of Me" project features assistance from A. Ray Fuller on guitar; two-time Grammy Award nominated Timothy Bailey, Jr. on bass and as a producer on two songs; Kyle Bolden (Stevie Wonder) on guitar; Latin Grammy Award nominated Kay-ta Matsuno on guitar; Brian Simpson (Janet Jackson) on piano; Brandon Harris on drums; Jermone Randall on bass and Gibert Fambro as the mixer.

"I love writing music and songs," Jackiem said about the new project. "Two of the songs I teamed up with a producer - Tim ("Where I Belong" and "Silk"). They are all originals. I do all the production...arranging."

"I did have something in mind," he said when I asked where the concept for the album came from. "I perform all over the world and don't give all of myself."

Which is why the new album is titled "Every Part of Me." Joyner said this time he did not hold back. The album is full of songs that are all different in every way. The production and arrangement are masterful.

"I try to give each song its own place," Jackiem Joyner admitted when I mentioned how awesome the production/arrangement is for each song. "It happens organically, when I'm producing...I make it about the song I'm writing. Each makes its own statement. The sequences come together nicely. I fell in love with the sequences (of the album)."

Jackiem Joyner, a Norfolk, Virginia native, is such a legend in the Contemporary Jazz genre that Syracuse, New York gave him a Key to the City. He has collaborated with such high-profile artists and musicians as Angela Bofill, Najee, Jean Carne, Ronnie Laws, Keiko Matsui, Peter White and George Duke. He has garnered a total of three Billboard #1 hits and eight Billboard Top Five Chart hits. Aside from Contemporary Jazz, Jackiem Joyner is also fluent in R&B, Soul, Blues, Funk and Pop.

"I never thought I'd play the saxophone," he added when I asked about his background as a musician. "I thought I was going to be a drummer. I picked up the sax at 13. It was fresh, challenging, and complicated. It's also rewarding ...when you play it correctly. So, I put the drums down and picked up the sax."

The "Every Part of Me" project on Shanachie Entertainment will be released January 16th. The first single from the project is "Just Like That" featuring Brian Simpson and it is out now.

Jackiem Joyner is also an author. His novel "Zarya: Cydnus Final Hope," published August 16, 2016 via Amazon Books, was recognized by the Silver Literary Titan Awards. It is a science fiction novel. His other novel is titled "Minor Assassin", and it was published by Barnes & Noble. He has also published a guidebook "How to Turn Your Music Talent into a Six Figure Income Machine" (Amazon Books). Joyner owns a production company called Babysoul Music Productions and indie label called Babysoul Music.  www.JoyneyBookClub.com  www.JackiemJoyner.com

He has been a musician since the age of 12 and I asked what keeps him going and he said, "My faith in God and in what He showed me....the assignment for this group."

The group that James is referring to is his band Sensere. The Gospel group launched in 2003. In 2008 they formed a partnership with Eddie Pugh. In 2011 they debuted with "The Soul of Future Worship (Vol 1)". Their sophomore album "Kingdom Therapy" was released in 2015. "Kingdom Therapy" reached #13 on Billboard's Charts. In 2019 they released their third project "God, Family, The Band (Vol. 1)" featuring Anesha Birchett and Lisa Knowles. That same year they released their first Christmas album "Sensere Christmas." The group's fourth album "The Soul of Future Worship (Vol. 2)" was released at the end of 2025 which has the public support of Grammy Award winning Fred Hammond.

Sensere released a Christmas single "Joy & Peace" featuring Adolphus in November 2025.

"I'm a lover of Christmas and the holidays, but it's hard for me to do music for it....it's so short lived," James pointed out when discussing the new single "Joy & Peace." "My manager was behind the Christmas single...the album had just come out, and Christmas is (normally) my off time. But he said, ‘Last Christmas album was in 2019."

"Joy & Peace" proceeded their latest album release "Fred Hammond presents Sensere: The Soul of Future Worship (Vol. 2)." Though a Contemporary Gospel band Sensere infuses R&B, Funk and Soul into their style. All Florida natives, the band is led by James Wright and has been compared to the Gospel group Commission and the band Mint Condition.

"Fred, he was an admire of the group. He said we...reminded him of his days with Commission," Wright told me when I asked how the band got involved with Hammond. "I asked him to be a featured artist on a project with us....but he said he couldn't (at the time) but wanted to put us on."

Fred then listened to the new project and replied to James.

"He texted me back," James recalled. "...and said this stuff is really really good and with his help...we made it better. That's when I asked if we could put his name on it. He was open to it and he said, ‘Absolutely!"

"Uncle Fred doesn't (normally) do that," James continued. "Not for those that are not signed to his label. So, that meant a lot to me."

Sensere currently has 12 members - Wright, Brian Williams (lead vocals), Levi Knowles (lead vocals), Zach Sanders (lead vocals), Chris Fellner (drums), Jaquan Hunter (bass), Tre'Von Watson (keyboard), Brasen White (music director), Darryl Efford (trumpet), Pernell Ponder (drummer. Vocalist), Corey Jones, and Joshua Bob.

"Members changed. I had a stable bunch of guys before the pandemic (Covid)," Wright told me when I asked. "During the pandemic there was no work...some started shifting their lives. Some no longer live in Florida and others stop doing music full-time. Some started online businesses that are thriving!"

"It's been five years with the new members," he added.

Sensere performed in shows that included Mary J. Blige, Kenny G, Marvin Sapp (formerly of Commissioned), and Patti LaBelle. The first single they released from the new project, "That's God...LaLaLa," has garnered 93,000 YouTube views for its music video, and reached #2 on Billboard Charts and #1 on Mediabase. The "Fred Hammond Presents Sensere: The Soul of Future Worship (Vol. 2)" album is the band's fourth project. It was released on the Tribl Records/Wright Sound Music & Entertainment imprint. The project is produced by James "Jdubb" Wright.

Featured on the "Fred Hammond Presents Sensere: The Soul of Future Worship (Vol. 2)" album are Mali Music, Keyondra Lockett, B.Slade, Darlene McCoy, with assistance from Fred Hammond. The members of Sensere are not only musicians but well accomplished singers and dancers! www.SensereMusic.com
