B. Able

Taking a different turn into hip hop, B. Able wanted to incorporate both the old-school hip hop feel with his twist of instrumental saxophone melodies. After working on some material as a solo musician, he decided to collaborate with local artists including Ethan Ross, Samad Savage and more. Behind his music is the story of an artist with a message; to speak up about his experiences with mental illness, and help those with similar experiences to learn they are able to pursue their hopes and dreams. At a young age, B. Able (Breyton Croom) was diagnosed with PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified) which is a mild form of autism, and ADHD, and with that came years of pressure from friends, family, and strangers. Despite the support, he noticed that people had the tendency to label, bully, take advantage of, and in some cases deem him unfit for certain tasks. His neurologist stated that B. Able would never be able to attend college, be independent, or receive regular education. Even with this consistent blow back from others, he worked his way through college and obtained a masters of science degree in accounting at Fairleigh Dickinson University. This accomplishment paved the way to create B. Able and what his music stands for today.
