Guilhem Fourty Quartet

Guilhem Fourty, originally from France, began drumming at the early age of five. From there, he went on to study at the Toulouse Conservatory of Music, where he focused on jazz studies. Guilhem’s passion for drums led him to study with other well-respected educators, such as Daniel Dumoulin (Dante Agostini drum school). After continuing his jazz performance studies at Jean Jaurès University, Guilhem received a scholarship at age 19 to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston. He had the chance to be mentored by legendary musicians such as Dave DiCenso (Hiromi, Josh Groban, Cro-Mags), Neal Smith (Mulgrew Miller, Steve Nelson), Greg Hopkins (Buddy Rich Band), Ralph Peterson (Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers), Billy Kilson (George Duke, Dave Holland), and Terry Lyne Carrington (Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Wayne Shorter). Guilhem worked as a session drummer throughout his time at Berklee, recording for artists such as Zach Santos, Audrey Bussanich, Sam Chandler, Rakel Saranga, Lucas Ghelfi, Chopin Nanan, Richard Stenmeyer, and many more. By the age of 21, Guilhem was fortunate to have played with renowned musicians such as Grammy nominee saxophonist Miguel Zenón and the same year to join the Berklee Jazz and Gender Institute directed by NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington.
