Michael Mayo began to carve his musical identity long before he took the stage. The son of two successful musicians, the Los Angeles native grew up just a few feet from the likes of Diana Ross, Luther Vandross, Earth Wind and Fire, and Stevie Wonder. This proximity to musical created helped Mayo create a sound that revolves around the more innovative elements of R&B combined with Jazz.
After receiving his bachelor's degree from the New England Conservatory of Music, Mayo attended the acclaimed Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance — only the third vocalist to be accepted into the program in his 20s — where he learned from Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Luciana Sousa, among others.
Whether he's performing with a full big band, rhythm section, or only a pedal looper, Mayo's classic vocal style and great talent commands the attention of fans around the world.
