This Saturday, Grammy winner Guordan will hold a hometown concert at Johnny Brenda’s.
Guordan Banks struggled with a stutter as a boy. But his grandmother noticed the problem went away when he belted out hymns at his family’s church in his native North Philadelphia.
These days Banks splits his time between Tampa, Fla., and Los Angeles, but he said the adversities he overcame in North Philly continue to inform his soulful voice.Growing up on Erie Avenue, Banks was one of eight siblings born into a family with lots of musical talent. His grandfather was a jazz organist and his grandmother and father were both accomplished singers.
Parker said Banks was a staple in the Philly music scene back in the day and that the singer hasn’t forgotten his roots in the city. The singer released “Keep You in Mind,” his biggest hit to date, in 2016. It spent three weeks at the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s R&B chart. Banks accomplished all of this without signing to a major label, releasing much of his catalog through Bank On It Records, a company he started in 2013. In many situations, independent artists don’t carry the same prestige in the industry as comparable major label acts.
