Michael Whittaker is a unique hybrid of his diverse upbringing. Growing up in Los Angeles, Michael grew up listening to both funk and R&B while his father would encourage him in Jazz and classical music. Playing in church since he was in his teens, Michael now 38 has molded his own identifiable sound. His current album Modern World melds his virtuosic piano playing and elements of jazz, world music and soul. ContemporaryJazz.com said “Modern World” is the highlight of the year, and actually added the record to their “top all time” contemporary jazz albums!

Michael has been a sideman with noted artists such as Warren Hill, Jeff Golub, Midi Aibair, Eric Marienthal, Cake, and Boyd Tinsley from the Dave Mathews Band, Lionel Richie, Alex Acuna, Abe Laboriel, Gary Meek, Brandon Fields, Cecilia Noel, Joey Heredia, Marco Mendoza, Andrew Gouche, Don Grusin, Keith Carlock and many others.

Michael’s experience in many styles, as well as his work as a producer, has earned him the top spot with numerous artists. Also, from time to time Michael can be seen on the Jimmy Kimmel Live television show as a sub in the house band.
