Robert Glasper

Robert Glasper is an award winning producer, songwriter, and pianist from Houston, Texas. He is leader and main instrumentalist for modern jazz group The Robert Glasper Experiment.

In 2012 he achieved massive success and much more exposure with The Experiment’s debut studio album Black Radio. He received 3 Grammy’s and was nominated for 7. Black Radio not only put jazz back in the spotlight, but also gave it some new names to add to the genre..

After the record’s release, Glasper began to expand his horizons, working with artists such as 9th wonder, Common, and Bilal. After his 2013 Experiment sophomore album Black Radio 2 surfaced, he was given the oppurtunity to work with rapper Kendrick Lamar on his platinum selling To Pimp A Butterfly. He also collaborated with Common on 2016’s Black America Again, and with Big Krit in 2017 on his critically acclaimed 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time.

As of 2018, Glasper has an impressive catalogue of a Miles Davis tribute, over a dozen rap collaborations, two group albums, and multiple best selling solo records.
