Available in:
Alan King Jr., is an enlivened, up and coming, talented young musician inspired by the genre of Smooth Jazz. He is the quintessential jazz artist that plays a myriad of musical instruments including the piano and percussion with a passion and the stylistic influences drawn from Jazz, Funk, Urban, Pop and R&B.

Alan's earliest and first jazz impressions were inspired from his mother playing the recordings' of the music artistry of Hiroshima, a Japanese American jazz ensemble.

The young Alan's childhood home was filled with song and music with his mother listening to the recordings of great singers and musicians such as: Phyllis Hyman, Donny Hathaway, Earth Wind and Fire, Ray Charles etc. Her son's interest in music spiraled Mrs.Willette King Abraham to start Alan at an early age taking lessons on the piano, in which he learned the basic fundamentals. He also studied under M. Nyasuma, learning various Latin and African percussion, beats and rhythms. He was hired by DC Artworks to teach young people music, which led to performances at the 1991 Taste of DC festival, Flecher Johnson SHS as well as performing at the neoclassical designed Meridian Hill Park, better know to the natives as Malcolm X Park. Alan has a love for teaching his craft and for youth. He has plans for a future endeavor, implementing a music program desig
