Calvin Brown believes in music as a site of exploration, community, joy, resistance, and freedom. He began playing the piano at the age of 13 in the Black church and for over two decades he has worked extensively as a keyboardist, arranger, music director and educator. Calvin Presents is a synthesis of jazz, soul, contemporary popular styles and the avant garde, melded with lyrics about his observations about modern life. His debut EP, Dream was released in 2018 and “Here”, a response to both the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, followed in 2020. Calvin’s debut album is forthcoming.
Be cool // OMP is the place for peace, love, support and kindness. Critique must be requested.
Listen // Be mindful of what other players are doing. Be mindful of dynamics. It's OK to not play - music needs silence, too.
Courage // The good stuff is beyond your comfort zone. Make mistakes. See rule #1.
