Jonathan Curry

Born July 1, 1991 in Rahway, NJ, Jonathan started his musical career at the early age of eight months old, when he would bang on pots and pans. His parents quickly noticed his passion and pushed him toward it. He began playing drums in the church at 12 years old and by the time he was 16, he had decided to pursue music professionally. Jonathan joined the jazz and marching bands his senior year in high school and went on to study Jazz and Music Industry at North Carolina Central University. After moving to North Carolina, Jonathan has had the opportunity to play with artists such as Branford Marsalis, Christian Scott (Atunde Adjuah), Akuah Allrich, Marvin Sapp, Benny Golson, Rakim, Cyrus Chestnut, John Ellis and Kate McGarry just to name a few. Since graduating, Jonathan has traveled the world as a member of Masegos œTrap House Jazz band and has toured and made several Television appearances (including The Tonight Show featuring Jimmy Fallon) with North Carolinas own Rapsody and 9th Wonder. Most recently, Jonathan had the opportunity to compose and play drums on Nnenna Freelons latest album entitled Time Traveler, which was nominated for a Grammy for best vocal jazz album. He believes that music is a healing modality and that he must continue to use his artistic ability to be an inspiration to others.
