About this Event
Howard McNair Jr
"Life is taking time to hit the right notes", Howard McNair Jr.'s favorite quote by Ray Charles and a blueprint of what McNair keeps in mind when it comes to his musical career and life.
At the age of 2 years old McNair began being molded by his mother, a musician and singer, into a musician that would play soul touching music and release projects that would change lives. McNair's parents knew that he was destined to become a music prodigy even at the age of two when they saw him quickly grasp the concept of playing the drums. Recognizing his gifts and abilities while growing up in church where his father pastored, McNair was given the assignment to be the pianist for the church at the age of 9. This assignment was utilized as a moment to enhance the experience of the church and to also cultivate his gifts and talents as a musician and songwriter who would go on to travel the world with well-known artists in multiple genres such as gospel, jazz, rhythm and blues and hip hop.
As McNair continued to cultivate his musical abilities and still holding on to the lessons taught during his early years, McNair furthered his knowledge by pursuing a degree in piano and music production at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Pursuing this degree allowed him to expand his knowledge. as a musician and producer as well as receiving the opportunity to network with those who were interested in doing the same and in hindsight establishing relationships within the music field. With the experience of establishing relationships within the music field, McNair has been able to connect and share the stage as a pianist and organist with prominent musicians and artists. A few artists that McNair has shared his gifts with include Mike Phillips, Carol Riddick and The Hamiltones.
Releasing a single entitled Moments in 2020, with another single to follow in 2021 entitled Sumthin McNair continues to perform and compose music while working on projects to release for fans. Howard McNair's music and accompaniments can be enjoyed on all major music streaming platforms.
