Artist description Keyboardist, composer, arranger ... into blues, jazz, funk, rock, bossa/samba ... doesn't mind that his beans touch his Spanish rice, or that his carne asada touches his chile relleno, and certainly doesn't mind that his songs are amalgamations of every type of music that he's listened to and played during his lifetime.

Music Style Eclectic: jazz, blues, funk, rock, pop, soul/R&B, Latin/bossa/samba, easy listening, new age, instrumental, etc.

Artist History Herbie Shon is one of those rare individuals to whom music has come naturally and effortlessly. A self-taught pianist from the age of 3, Herbie was the top string bassist in his city at the age of 11, received a full scholarship to the University of Southern California's Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts (ISOMATA) on cello at the age 14, was one of the top trumpeters in his high school's orchestra, concert and marching bands, and spent several years as a trumpet and jazz music performance major in undergrad. Herbie began playing keyboards professional at the age of 17 in the blues fusion band, "Off the Wall." Inspired by all the blues, jazz, and rock greats, Off the Wall soon became one of the more notable blues bands in the greater Los Angeles area. Herbie spent most of his undergrad years performing with various L.A. jazz fusion bands and artists, including Visions, Hiroshima, The Ink Spots, and others. After a long hiatus from music, Herbie returns to his first love with a fresh new perspective on composition and performance. Please re-visit this mp3 artist page for updates on the release of Herbie's first solo CD project, expected for release in late 2003.
