Mathis Picard Trio
Mathis Picard
He is a pianist, composer and producer. Based in New York City and from both France and Madagascar, Mathis honours his multi-cultural background by merging musical influences and elevating sonic synchronicity. Named a “rising star” by The Scotsman, Mathis is an ASCAP Next Generation of Songwriters Recipient, a member of the Montreux Jazz Foundation, and an alumnus of The Juilliard School where he was mentored by Kenny Barron. WhatsOnStage has described Mathis as a “knockout, as dynamic a personality as he is virtuosic on the keys”.
David Mrakpor
London-based musician, he plays the electric bass. He can also often be seen gigging on various instruments, including the keyboard, drums, guitar and vibraphone.
David also leads his own jazz-oriented band under his own name and is a member of fellow London-based trumpeter Mark Kavuma’s The Banger Factory. He is most widely recognised as MR DM, one half of the Jazztronica duo Blue Lab Beats.
Zoe Pascal
The drummer is a 3rd generation musician, a Tomorrow’s Warriors Alumni mentored by musicians like Gary Crosby, Nathaniel Facey and Binker Golding. He is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music jazz programme led by Gareth Lockrane and is currently finishing his undergraduate course at Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
