Band History

Jamal Mathis is a pianist, composer and producer who grew up in Dallas. He began taking an interest in music at age 10, and when his skills and repertoire increased by age 16, he began composing.

He transferred to Andrews University in Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music in piano performance in 2006.

Mathis won an ASCAPlus award in 2008.
