As a toddler, WILL JAXX was immersed in a colorful soundscape created by phenomenal artists such as Al Green, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and the Modern Jazz Quartet. His musical ability began to quickly assert itself and by age 12, the trombone was his preferred method of expression. During his formative years, Mr. JAXX studied with several masters of the instrument including: Mark McConnell (Atlanta Opera), Stephen Wilson (Atlanta Symphony Orchestra), and Dr. Marvin Pryor (Cameo). This trifecta helped him develop exquisite technique, a gorgeous tone, and a uniquely captivating stylea style which would later garner him the Louis Armstrong Award for Jazz and induction into Who's Who in Music. At age 18, he was commissioned as Composer & Feature Soloist for the World Premiere of "Beyond the Canebreaks: Moments in the Life of Harriet Tubman," which was performed by The Harry Bryce African American Dance Theatre. This allowed Mr. JAXX to stretch out creatively, while expanding his appreciation of the Fine Arts. He toured briefly with the Theatre before being accepted on a full scholarship to the University of Georgia, where he would study Classical Music Performance under the legendary Dr. Philip Jameson. He later left the University to make inroads into the Music Industry. WILL JAXX spent a number of years playing behind Music legends Allen Toussaint, James Ingram, Angie Stone, and P.J. Morton. Then, after playing behind the likes of such luminaries, Mr. JAXX decided to step into the limelight to express his own creative vision. 2014 would give rise to his debut album, DICHOTOMYa full-length musical calling card in which soulful vocalise on trombone is paired with superb live musicians, decadent vocals, and artful studio cuts to produce silky tracks that retain an urban sensibility. The album has drawn critical acclaim worldwide and was hailed by many as a creative milestone for modern trombone recordings.
