Trumpeter and composer Brandon Woody, born and raised in Baltimore,
began his musical journey at age 7. After studying at the Baltimore
School for the Arts, Brubeck Institute, and Manhattan School of Music,
he's become an international artist, performing with notable musicians
like Robert Glasper, Solange, and Marcus Gilmore. Woody formed his
band, Upendo, in 2017 to showcase his original compositions. Known for
his work in jazz, he also collaborates with global brands like Calvin
Klein, Nike, and Reebok. His influence extends into film, as he served
as bandleader for Lady in the Lake. Woody's accolades include being
named "Musician to Watch" by Baltimore Magazine in 2022 and winning
the 2021 Best Musician of the Year Award. As he says, he uses music as
"a tool for healing, genuine connection, and celebrating community."
