Hoping someone here might be able to help. I don't have much to go on, but sometime between 2013-2015, there was a 20 something white male from Conneticut. He was an R&B singer, who played piano and horn. He released an album, and kinda reminded me of Mayer Hawthorne. I can't remember his name, nor any song titles or his album title (tho I think his first YouTube song was called "The River."). I haven't been able to find anything.
Definetly wasn't as well known as Mayer is. Album was dope, but it was definitely an underground album. If anyone knows his name, you'd make my week.
