Breakdown Brass


Breakdown Brass is a hip-hop/funk brass band I started about a year and a half ago when I bought a Sousaphone.  I write/arrange all the music, book all the gigs/recordings, everything.  I've always wished I was a bassist and I love arranging, so it's a perfect fit.  Plus, I get to call up all my boys to play ONLY my favorite tunes.

Breakdown Brass is not from New Orleans, and we don't play New Orleans music. We play Hip-Hop, Funk, Dub, Motown, Salsa, Afrobeat, and whatever else makes BK dance floors bump.

The members of Breakdown Brass play/record with international artists such as Wyclef Jean, The Duke Ellington Orchestra, Aretha Franklin, Streetlight Manifesto, Ikebe Shakedown, Beyonce, Easy Star All-Stars, The Pimps of Joytime, Blitz the Ambassador, Lee Fields, Snarky Puppy, Eli "Paperboy" Reed and the True Loves, Meta and the Cornerstones, Navegante, The Sweet Divines, Slavic Soul Party, Peoples Champs, and more.
