His voice combines the soul and character of R&B legends like Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder with the charisma and swing of modern troubadours like Michael Bublé and John Legend to seamlessly perform a wide range of classic jazz standards, soul-infused rhythm and blues, and jazz-inspired reinventions of modern pop. Accompanied by his talented backing band, the multi-instrumentalist expertly and simultaneously rolls out his numbers on a grand piano, bass keyboard, and organ keyboard, a visual and audial thrill for audiences and critics alike.
