Meet the Artist
Brandon Fitzpatrick, keyboardist
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.
