Join us! Kenyatta Beasley ~ Trumpet Mike Moreno ~ Guitar EJ Strickland ~ Drums Eric Wheeler ~ Bass John Chin ~ Piano KENYATTA BEASLEY arrived in New York in 1994 to attend the prestigious Mannes School of Music where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Jazz composition and Performance. Cutting through the clutter of New York City’s musical landscape, Beasley’s innovative sound led to his first break: he joined Lauryn Hill to record and support the tour of her multi-platinum album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill — through which he accompanied a range of musical acts: Shakira, Wyclef Jean, Fantasia, Chaka Khan, the Wu Tang Clan, P. Diddy, Usher, Carlos Santana, Gloria Gaynor and Gladys Knight. Since, he has been a highly sought-after musician in too many bands to name. Beasley is also a film composer, having composed the score for the film Earnie, which won the NYU/New York Magazine First Run Film Festival award for Best Original Score and also was a finalist at Sundance. The success of Earnie caught the ear of Quincy Jones who hired him as a contributor to the underscore on Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. He then went on to win Best Original Score at the Brooklyn Arts Council Film Festival for another short film, Heroes Wanted. The trumpeter has composed the scores for short films such as Jeffrey’s Calypso, Dentist Visit, Heart Attack and the award-winning Pariah. His first solo, full-length film score was written for a Vivica A. Fox film, Three Can Play That Game .He also returned to touring on the Mary J. Blige/Jay-Z “Heart of the City” jaunt.
