Born in St. Louis, Ian Coulter-Buford, better known as PALAWN, is an American singer-songwriter who now resides in New York City. With the hashtag #mentalhealthmusic, he hopes to raise awareness about the importance of mental health in the gay community.

In the new track, PALAWN demonstrates their ability to depict the queer-black experience vividly and sensually. PALAWN's expressive voice, captivating personality, and iconoclastic sense of style have made him one of the most important artists of his time. The New York City-based artist has been gaining traction quickly and drawing attention everywhere he goes. With the release of 'Juxtapose,' he is now poised to break through to a wider audience and get the recognition he deserves throughout the country.

The first thing listeners notice about 'Juxtapose' is how catchy it is. It is evident that the singer is an R&B and soul fanatic, but the song's edgy pace and fluid falsettos give it a contemporary feel. With remarkable sincerity and passion, he sings with a voice that builds from a whisper to a yell. "Juxtapose" is a compelling introduction to an artist who seemed poised to flip current music on its head.

In addition to George Benson and Brandy, PALAWN has gathered a diverse group of notable musicians, including B.B. King, The Clark Sisters, The A-Plus, Dawn Richard, Dolly Parton, and Celine Dion, to mention a few.

It wasn't until the age of 14 that he discovered a love for songwriting. Now he aims to make the most of this opportunity to raise the profile of black LGBT artists and to paint the world a more vivid picture via the medium of music. When it comes to God, there is no greater love.
