An extraordinary and uniquely gifted pianist from Bali, Joey Alexander’s recording debut “My Favorite Things” was nominated as Best Instrumental Jazz Album for the 2016 Grammy Awards. His track “Giant Steps” also earned a 2016 Grammy nomination for Best Improvised Jazz Solo making Joey, at 12 years old, one of the youngest Grammy nominees in history.

 

Joey Alexander taught himself to play piano by listening with his father to classic jazz albums and due to the lack of jazz education where he lived, Alexander began attending jam sessions with senior musicians. Through festival appearances and awards for his improvisational brilliance, the world has taken notice of this phenomenal and exciting pianist with the astonishing technique and soulful sound.
