CJ Warren
Clifton Joseph Warren (aka CJ) was born in Cleveland, Ohio on April 30th, 1968 started his musical interest at the age of 8 with the help of his music teachers who gave him opportunities to sing, dance, and act in leading roles in school plays. His mother gave him the privilege to study piano at the age of 12, started composition, and self-taught in music history and theory.
Clifton composed his first Piano Sonata at 17, a serenade for string orchestra at 28, and other piano works between the ages of 15-22. At 26, Clifton got his first break playing for the Jazz Ensemble at Mercer University in Macon, GA directed by Dr. Douglas Hill in the years 1992-97.
During that time other professional musicians noticed his talents and gifts and hired him as their keyboardist in bands such as Danger Zone in 1995-1999, and Voltage Brothers in 1999-2012.
Traveling with the Voltage Brothers gave him opportunities to see celebrities and to open shows for artists like Morris Day & the Time, James Brown, Commodores, Gladys Knight, Boyz II Men, Kirk Franklin, Earth Wind & Fire, Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Clint Black, George Strait, LeAnn Rymes, and Martina McBride.
Today, Clifton plays like Liberace, swings like Ellington, improvises like Chick Corea, sings like Luther Vandross, transposes and arranges like David Foster, and mixes like Sting. Clifton is a composer of classical music with 350 piano compositions, 157 chambers, orchestra works, and chorales, yet versatile in other genres by writing 12 country tunes, 37 jazz compositions, 87 Christian contemporary songs, 40 pop tunes, 10 heavy metal songs, 7 rap songs, and 15 big band originals. When the audience expects a variety of music, he has over 3,500 CDs of all sorts of music, can learn a hard piece in less than 15 minutes, and has a very long cover tune list of over 1,000 songs.
