Johnny O'Neal
is a GRAMMY nominated world-renowned pianist and vocalist, known for his soulful, personable, and even humorous performances and virtuosic improvisations. His concerts regularly feature many styles, from jazz and traditional blues to pop, R&B and occasionally gospel music too. He has performed or recorded with Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Anita O'Day, Carmen McCrae, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Clark Terry, Stan Getz, Sonny Stitt, and many more.

O'Neal started making a splash in the music world early on as a prodigious young teenager winning the 2nd Annual James Cleveland youth gospel piano competition in Kansas City. He was later discovered by bassist Ray Brown who facilitated O'Neal's first album. Over the coming years he would tour with artists including Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, and Carmen McRae. He also toured as lead singer with Ray Charles' band following Mr. Charles' transition. In 1988 his album "Soulful Swinging" was nominated for a GRAMMY for best jazz album.

O'Neal continues to make waves in the modern era. He played the part of Art Tatum (at the recommendation of Oscar Peterson) in the 2005 Oscar-winning film "Ray," performed and recorded with artists such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Harry Connick Jr., and Ron Carter. He is known to perform in Europe, China, South America, Canada, and all across the United States.
