Kyle Damons is a South African jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader currently completing his final year of Jazz Studies at Stellenbosch University. Influenced by both local and international jazz traditions, he has performed at various festivals and concerts, received mentorship from leading jazz musicians, and continues to develop his voice as a performer and composer.
In this concert, Kyle will present original compositions from his upcoming debut album Shadows to Sunrise. The album reflects both life’s challenges and the journey of building a career in music. Shadows represents the hardships, struggles, and obstacles that many musicians face while trying to establish themselves in the industry. Sunrise symbolizes overcoming those difficulties, gaining recognition, and growing from an aspiring musician into a professional artist. Through this music, Kyle shares a personal and inspiring story of perseverance, growth, and hope.
Kyle will be joined by a unique group of upcoming jazz musicians: Chadleigh Gower on bass guitar, Caleb Dlamini on drums, Esihle Valela on tenor saxophone, Joshua America on guitar, Keesha Thyssen on vocals, Sibabalwe Gobe Gysman on flute & vocals.
