Durand Bernarr Earns The Wooster Co-Sign

It’s impossible to ignore what Durand Bernarr is doing right now. The Cleveland-born vocal powerhouse has spent years building a reputation as your favorite singer’s favorite singer, backing up Erykah Badu and delivering standout guest spots for Anderson .Paak and Kaytranada. After taking home his first Grammy Award earlier this year for Best Progressive R&B Album with BLOOM, he kept his foot on the gas by dropping his fourth studio album, BERNARR., through DSING Records and Create Music Group Inc. That consistent run of high-level execution is why we are officially awarding Durand Bernarr the Wooster Co-Sign badge. The industry and the streets are in complete agreement on this one. From his recent show-stopping performance at the 2026 BET Awards tribute to D’Angelo, to heavy radio rotation on stations like Cincinnati’s Z-107.9, the momentum is undeniable. He is currently preparing to take this energy on the road for a run of international and domestic tour dates starting July 25 in Lisbon and Oaxaca. He earned this spot. Check him out below.
