Cleveland, Ohio native, Orlando Watson is a lyricist who’s soulful, baritone voice weaves through words with uncanny rhythmic delivery. His début project titled “Everything’s Personal” garnered national attention and propelled him to open for Chantae Cann and Lalah Hathaway’s perspective tours in 2018. His distinctive voice and unorthodox wordplay have led him to share the stage with world-class acts such as: Terence Blanchard, Dominic Farinacci, Braxton Cook, Damien Sneed, Jessica Caremoore, and Tye Tribbett to name a few. Watson currently serves as the Associate Director for the Tri-C JazzFest where he’s crafted a creative writing workshop called “UNDERSTANZA” to show high school students the rich intersections that connect Spoken Word Poetry, Hip-Hop and Jazz. Orlando’s passion for faith, family, community and culture are always reflected in his art, as he sees himself as a bridge between social barriers built to further divide humankind.

Just a young soul into my music. Music defines not only me but my life

Bobby Ray Sparks, II… infamous sideman to countless artists, including: Lalah Hathaway, Marcus Miller, Dianne Reeves, George Benson, Nelly Furtado, Snarky Puppy, the late George Duke and Prince to name a few- is an analog purist, innovator and inspiration to many musicians.

Educated at Eastfield College, his musical matriculation began at age 5, when his mother and father- both educators and a church pianist and jazz trumpeter, respectively, noticed his acumen for the piano and organ.  

As a nine-time Grammy Award winner, his contributions and production skills can be found on albums by Kirk Franklin, Snarky Puppy, St. Vincent, Ray Charles and more.
