Biography Tizaal Alphonso
==================
Critically acclaimed pianist/singer/composer, Tizaan Alphonso has a deep and personal connection with music, strongly connected within his family. Having musicians for parents, making music just feels like being home, where-ever he is.
If he could, Tizaan Alphonso would become the Freddie-Mercury-of-Jazz, or claim to be Herbie Hancock's long lost son. He jokes about these things, yet it is deadly serious. Soul and Funk music has been with him like an extra parent, raising him to this day.
After Tizaan Alphonso’s debut album "Feel It" (2020) and his attempt to revive the glory of Soul, RnB and Funk, Tizaan received praise from the press at home, the USA and India.
"Give in to the Natural Jazzy Groove of Tizaan Alphonso's, New Album 'Feel It' " - Buzz Music (USA)
"Tizaan Alphonso showcases extraordinary experimental Jazz on his debut LP ‘'Feel It’" - Rolling Stone Magazine (India)
His musical journey continues in his latest EP called ‘Take it Or Leave it’ (Oct 2024). Tizaan has written the songs on the EP about his life, love and hope, struggles, racism while focusing particularly on his personal journey of self-acceptance. His story, deeply rooted in his home, family, and friendships, is complex but profoundly beautiful—a narrative that he shares with honesty and emotion through his music on stage.
In Maastricht, Tizaan Alphonso found his musical family: The Tizaan Alphonso Collective, a group of 8 incredibly talented musicians. They share a strong bond and all deeply understand the story Tizaan wants to express through his music. There are times when a band hits the stage and the energy is so infectious, it's impossible to just sit still and listen. The Collective is one of those bands. With each member bringing their own exceptional skill to the table, and Tizaan fronting the group, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable experience full of energy and soul.
In October 2024, the band embarked on a memorable tour across India (Mumbai, Delhi, Goa) to promote their latest EP. They performed at iconic venues such as NMACC in Mumbai, The Pianoman Jazz Club in Delhi, and several others, making it an unforgettable experience.
From performing solo at corporate events, presenting his band at every pop or jazz competition all the way to playing at the North Sea Jazz festival as part of the Fringe Orchestra ft. Bex Burch. He was invited to perform at Jammin' Juan in France, Jazz Circle Viersen, So What's Next Festival (Eindhoven), Poppodium Volt
(Sittard), Les Temps Mêlés (Verviers), Limbo Jazz Express (Cultuurhuis Heerlen), MainStage of Park City Live and continues to grow a fanbase with his catchy debutalbum "Feel It". The L1 television featured him live for their 'Tot overmaat van
ramp' cultural program during the pandemic. In addition to this, his song "Living in The City" was also featured on radio (Sublime-FM) with the legendary Candy Dulfer.
In May 2024, the Collective won the first edition of the Podiumbeesten competition organized by Vista College Heerlen, and got to open for Nile Rogers on the Mainstage of Parkcity Live Festival 2024
"He showcases himself as a very good pianist and when you hear him singing with his sunglasses on, it’s like watching Stevie Wonder! Really knows how to put himself in the center of a band, in a way that we only know from legends!
His music sits so much in the groove that you can't help but dance along yourself. Hearing him perform is a big mix of Freddie Mercury, Herbie Hancock and Al Jarreau”
-Jo Dautzenberg(Stichting Heerlen Jazz)
DJ Soulfreak zorgt voor de muziek rond het optreden. Hij is bekend van The Ultimate SoulExperience dance parties op kasteel Hoensbroek. Hij draait lekkere soul, funk, P-Funk en dance classics.
