ABOUT SKIP
Positive and passionate about life, is the best way of describing GRAMMY Award winner Skip Martin – lead vocalist, trumpet player, songwriter and producer...

To date Skip has entertained millions of people around the world as a former lead vocalist for Kool & the Gang and as lead vocalist for The Dazz Band, (which won them a GRAMMY Award for the song “Let It Whip”).

His tenor voice has a warm eclectic style developed through the years under the guise of maestro Stevie Wonder. Skip lists Miles Davis, Sammy Davis and Donny Hathaway as major influences on his musical development.

Skip’s love of jazz started at the age of eleven, and was enhanced when he won “Outstanding Trumpet Soloist” at the Monterey Jazz Festival whilst in high school. His first solo jazz CD, ‘Miles High’ features Ronnie Laws, Wayman Tisdale, Al McKay, Rickey Lawson and Bruce Conte.His current jazz CD ‘Formal Dining’ features Tom Schuman of Spyro Gyro.
