Brandon Fitzpatrick, born in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1994, is a pianist, composer, producer, and Musical Director. A self-taught musician who began playing at age four, he developed his sound by immersing himself in music — listening deeply, experimenting freely, and discovering his unique voice through the keyboard. This music lives in the space where improvisation meets structure — where the harmonic depth of jazz flows into the experimental edge of fusion, Drawing from jazz’s improvisation, classical components, with an underscore of hip-hop, they sculpt sound into emotion. It’s a cinematic fusion — Where rhythm becomes pulse and melody becomes alluring. It’s a sound that thrives on contrasts: the rawness of instrumental music beside the elegance of thought provoking orchestration. At its heart, it’s about making the profound elementary and creating new textures that move the mind, body, and spirit.
A project that embodies his vision of modern Jazz Fusion, he introduces Brandon Fitzpatrick and The Element.

Cellist and vocalist Jordan Hamilton is a mix of mastery and maverick musicality; hip-hop influenced, rhythmically layered, melodically robust. Avant garde, folk-soul music, a key to navigate space, time, and change, gracefully, for those who use it. Driven by diversity, drawn to the cello’s tone, cosmic strings calling souls home. “Plucking, sawing, pounding and caressing the cello to extract sometimes other-worldly sounds; melding live looping with classical music interludes, hip hop, and jazz.” (John Sinkevics, Local Spins). Shared truth, delivered and triggered by melodies, experienced as one, emanating from a deep, russet realm. Genres groomed together to represent and inquire the soul. A different kind of symphony, hopeful enough to grow our empathy, “part political activism, part hopefulness, part performance art, part soundscapes, and all entirely mesmerizing.” (John Sinkevics, Local Spins) Emotional energy crafted from integrity, immaterial and immortal, experienced at the speed of sound, with a bit of bounce, groove by the ounce, and all the jump you’ll need to move.
