LAURENCE ELDER
Genres: RnB, Pop, Art Song, Folk • United States

Laurence’s background as a seasoned jazz pianist includes a Master’s Degree from the University of Miami’s prestigious music school, but on “Surrounded” his evolution as a singer-songwriter is more than apparent as he blurs the lines between genres. “Like Sting, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder, Laurence has the ability to go beyond jazz’s traditional boundaries,” says JAZZIZ Magazine owner and chief editor Michael Fagien, a big fan of the album. While working on a second album, Laurence continues to share his music with the world. His band consists of some of the industry's most sought after musicians, whose collective touring and recording credits include Tito Puente, Paquito D'Rivera, Ruben Blades, Chayenne, Juan Luis Guerra, and Nestor Torres, among many others. from CDBaby
