ChillPhilMusic + Band in Atlanta, GA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a keyboard player, originally from Decatur, currently living in the Northern Metro Atlanta area. I've been playing all my life - professionally for about 11 years now. I love playing Classic Soul, Funk, Neo-Soul, Hip-hop, Reggae, and Jazz Fusion, as well as straight-ahead Jazz. I'm Classically trained as well (from childhood), but really Jazz is my forte - I view it as the bedrock of all the other styles I play, it's in my blood, and also I went to school for it and have a B.A. in Music Performance (Huston-Tillotson University 2012 Austin, TX. I also represented that school in the 2009 HBCU all star big band in NYC.)

It's probably worth it to mention that I lived in Austin, TX for 5 years for school and I performed heavily on the music scene out there with groups such as Soul Kitchan, Frontier Live, Progress, Soul Tree Collective, Hot Sauce and others including several corporate bands. Here in Atlanta I'm on the corporate band circuit as well, with the band Mo' Sol, but I also go out to Jazz/R&B Jam Sessions as often as I can. Looking to work with other talented and humble individuals, wherever you guys are - especially people i find to be more talented than myself.
