Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah [formerly Christian Scott] has won two Edison Awards. Also, he has received six Grammy nominations and a Doris Duke Artist Award. He is a sonic architect, trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and designer of innovative technologies and musical instruments. These include The Stretch Music app, Adjuah Trumpet, Siren, Sirenette, Chief Adjuah’s Bow and Chief Adjuah’s N’Goni. He is also the founder and CEO of the Stretch Music App and Recording Company.
Adjuah is Chieftain and Oba of the Xodokan Nation as well as the current Grand Griot of New Orleans. He is the grandson of Louisiana luminary and legend, the late Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr., and Guardians Institute founder and Grand Griot, Herreast Harrison. Further, he is the nephew of jazz innovator and NEA Jazz Master saxophonist-composer, Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr. Adjuah (and his twin brother Kiel) joined his grandfather’s Guardians of the Flame banner in 1989 at age five.
Since 2001, Adjuah has released thirteen critically acclaimed studio recordings, four live albums, and one greatest hits collection. Moreover, he is widely recognized as the progenitor of the “Stretch Music” style. This style is a 21st-century approach that asserts genre blindness and an ethnomusicological approach to limitless fusion.
NPR hails him as “ushering in a new era of Jazz” and JazzTimes marks him as “jazz’s young style God” and “the architect of a commercially viable fusion”. He has collaborated with Prince, Thom Yorke, McCoy Tyner, Marcus Miller, Flea, Eddie Palmieri, and Robert Glasper. Also, he’s worked with rappers Mos Def (Yasin Bey), Talib Kweli, and heralded poet/musician Saul Williams.
