Wynton Kelly Stevenson
The Afro-American from New Jersey calls himself Das Wyndstrument, alluding to his harmonica, he combines the finest blues, beat bass, experimental jazz with the loop station & beat boxes and is a brand ambassador for the famous German manufacturer HOHNER.
Born in 1973, named after the great pianist Wynton Kelly, son of the great jazz musician & composer Rudy Stevenson, and since 1988 numerous performances with his band: Rudy Stevenson Soul Band. He has been training alongside him since childhood and absorbing influences from jazz to hip-hop.
In 2008 in Berlin, totally extroverted, ready to have fun, he throws a party for the crowd. Beatbox, harmonica, loopstation, effects and machines of all kinds, Wynton is a freak. A skilled entertainer – plays like a whole band and is a Juwel of Berlin’s alternative music scene.
