keyboardsAbout
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility". (Saint Augustine)
Multiple Grammy Award winner Shaun Martin is well known for his work with Kirk Franklin and as a key member of Snarky Puppy, his creative stamp can be heard on projects with musical legends Chaka Khan, Erykah Badu, Fred Hammond, Tamela Mann, Kim Burrell, God’s Property, and more.
In 2015 Martin unveiled his debut album 7Summers" to widespread acclaim, following up with a more succinct album of his Jazz piano work, "Focus". His third album "Three-O" was released in 2020, and features the tight but explosive combination of Martin on keys, Matt Ramsey (Kirk Franklin) on Bass, and Mike Mitchell (Stanley Clarke, Spirit Fingers) on Drums. Three world class players with a wide variety of performance experience and musical knowledge, three friends who share a vibrant excitement for music and the world. "Three-O" stretches more to the synthesized, creative side, but still keeps the fundamentals of the traditional trio with thumping bass lines and powerful drumming to compliment Martin's keys....
