GRAMMY-nominated R&B singer-songwriter Tank has been crafting hits since 2001, so he definitely knows a thing or two about putting heart and soul into music. His most recent hit, and most popular song to date, "When We," has spent the last year on the charts, proving that the R&B sound is ever-evolving.
We caught up with the artist backstage at Essence Festival 2018 in New Orleans to hear him share how he and others are changing the game by making "R&B music that feels like something." Despite the almost two decades he has spent contributing to the R&B scene, he knows he has more to accomplish.
"As long as you're putting in the work, at some point…there will be a harvest," Tank says, sharing his advice for younger artists.
