Chris Hovan Organic Trio at Treelawn Social Club – Cleveland, OH

Don’t miss MICHAEL MAYO in Portland, OR. Happening on Friday, April 4, 2025 at Jack London Revue. Doors open at 8:00 PM.

Without a doubt the best young male jazz singer in Los Angeles (LA Weekly)When you trust your gut, you give in to your most natural inclinations. By doing so, you have no choice but to be honest. Michael Mayo leans on his intuition as a vocalist, composer, songwriter, and arranger. Much like molding and shaping a sculpture out of clay, he stretches his voice through layers of heavenly harmonizing, hard-hitting beatboxing, and heartfelt crooning.The Los Angeles-based phenomenon creates from the heart without filter or pretense, allowing his voice to transmit raw emotion above an ever-evolving backdrop of jazz, neo-soul, and R&B on his second full-length LP, Fly [Mack Avenue Records/Artistry Music], and more to come.As improvisers, we sometimes talk about leaving space and following your second or third instinct, he notes. Lately, Ive been trying to challenge myself by going with my first instinct and seeing what sticks. Fly has been a fun experiment in that. There were different emotional zones I wanted to occupy, but I started a lot of those sounds with improv and followed that thread. I have a tendency to overthink. I decided to stop that before it began. I didnt rush, but I treated everything with an immediacywhich goes against my nature as an overthinker. To me, this album feels very, Lets go.Born and raised in Los Angeles, music quite literally surrounded him. As a sought-after background vocalist, mom shined alongside Beyonc, Diana Ross, Luther Vandross, and Whitney Houston. Meanwhile, dad not only sang, but also performed saxophone for Earth, Wind rgio Mendes. Among his most formative memories, Michael recalls being backstage, watching Mom and Dad perform, and seeing them in their element.Unlocking the power of his voice, he eventually attended the New England Conservatory of Music and at The Thelonious Monk Institute at UCLA (now the Hancock Institute of Jazz). 2018 saw him make waves with the single No More [with Amber Navran]. Following his graduation, he unveiled his full-length debut, Bones, in 2021 and cumulatively generated millions of streams accelerated by The Way and You and You. Earning critical acclaim, Jazzwise rated it 4-stars, and JAZZIZ raved, Michael Mayo has developed his own lush, neo-soul sound that adroitly showcases his clear tenor, which glides over luxuriant clouds of his multi-tracked vocals. He captivated audiences worldwide, headlining his own gigs and touring with the likes of Herbie Hancock. Not to mention, he even garnered the German Jazz Pride award.
