Jacquees Joins Tory Lanez – I Told You Tour

This fall, rising Cash Money Records R&B star Jacquees’ (Jac–kwees) joins Tory Lanez on the “I Told You Tour” as direct support. Special guest openers include Kranium and Veece.

With a smooth, striking voice, and magnetic presence, the Atlanta singer, performer, and artist is cruising on the fast track to stardom. He brings an old school spirit to modern R&B, elevating his game with each subsequent release.

Following a series of mixtapes, his 2014 independent debut EP, 19, vaulted to #3 on iTunes Top R&B Albums Chart and #15 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums Chart. A diverse multi-talented artist, his skills extend behind the camera as well. He directs his own videos, and his work on “Me, U, & Hennessy” accrued 6.6 million-plus views and “How Bout Now (Remix)” exceeded 3.8 million-plus views. Jacquees has turned out songs with a myriad of top artists including T.I., Trinidad James, Travis Porter and August Alsina. His 2014’s collaboration with Rich Homie Quan, “Soldier,” caught the attention of Birdman, who included it on the year’s standout mixtape Rich Gang’s Tha Tour – Part 1.

He subsequently inked a deal with Cash Money Records and his first bona fide hit “Come Thru” featuring Rich Homie Quan topped urban radio and cumulatively racked up 10 million-plus Spotify streams. His 2016 single “Like Baby” maintained that momentum with a sizzling hook and another 2.3 million streams. He also shared the spotlight on the collaborative project Lost At Sea alongside legendary Cash Money Records co-founder and iconic rapper Birdman.

2016 is just starting to heat up for Jacquees. He recently headlined a Sold Out 30-city Mood Tour which included dates in New York, Miami, Detroit, and in Los Angeles during BET Awards weekend. The tour ended in his hometown of Atlanta.

Jacquees stands out as a dynamic, charismatic, and energetic performer whose voice immediately captivates on stage. Make sure to catch him on the “I Told You Tour.”
