From playing piano at age 3 to performing for President Obama, Oprah, and Michael Jordan, Harvey Cummings II has lived the dream most musicians only imagine. 🎷🎹

In this episode of #LocalMusicSomewhere, host Greazy Keyz dives deep into Harvey’s journey — from Charlotte roots and Muppet Baby Casios to studying under Branford Marsalis, composing for The Boondocks, and now headlining with his upcoming album “The Only Child.”

🔥 What You’ll Hear:

  • Harvey’s start: writing his first compositions at 13
  • Lessons from Branford Marsalis that shaped his sound
  • From juke joints to global stages — the grind of a working musician
  • Why merch & community matter more than gigs for artists
  • Sneak peek of Harvey’s new single “It’s Not You, It’s Me”
  • The upcoming album showcase at Headliners and what fans can expect

This isn’t just jazz — it’s a masterclass in music, hustle, and legacy. Harvey Cummings II is proof that Charlotte talent belongs on the world stage. 🌍🎶
