Artist

The band…

Kelvin Lamar Sholar (keys/synth) is a Black American pianist/synthesist from Detroit, Michigan. He started as a Gospel vocalist with his parents, but later developed as a Classical and Jazz pianist – winning the Michigan Bach festival competition at sixteen years old. Sholar initially worked with local artists before gaining national and international exposure with Q-Tip, Stevie Wonder, Nigel Kennedy and Carl Craig.

Gregor Nicolai (bass) – It seems to fit perfectly!  I was really lucky growing up in a house with a rehearsal room and a family which was always down to jam.  Learning e-bass and drums in a early age, I started with a Reggae-Band in my teens.  In  high school I organized concerts and learned how to handle a mixer.  Since then I’m working as a sound engineer and a dj.  After school I went to a music school in Neukölln and prepared myself for the Jazz-studies.  Since 2017 I’m studying Jazz-E-Bass in Leipzig.  In 2020 we build a 9-piece Band called „Oluma“ which is combining Afrobeat, Funk, Brazilian and Jazz music.  I’m also playing in a Band called „Milonaut“, „Lacey Flea“ and „Kardamom Kollektiv“.
