Featured Artist

Curtis Crump Jr. is a multi-instrumentalist composer, arranger and producer whose talent and discipline have been seamlessly threaded into an expansive music career. He traces his musical journey back to Racine, Wisconsin, where his upbringing was steeped in sound.

“Both my parents grew up in church with gospel music; my dad plays drums and keys, mom sings,” Curtis explained. That foundation set the stage for a career that would span continents and genres, catapulted by a move to Los Angeles.

His creative output spans albums, tours, and scoring. His debut album came in 2020 with “Transit,” which acted as a stamp in time, a memento to mark this transition. Since his West Coast move, he also formed a band, Crew 21, contributed to albums by artists including Tory Lanez and Joyner Lucas, hosted residencies and jam sessions, scored short films like “Still Here” by Claudio Parrone Jr. and “When They’re Gone” starring Glynn Turman, collaborated and performed with a myriad of artists including Danny Ocean, whom he has toured with in over 25 countries. Their upcoming show in Norway, honoring a Nobel Peace Prize Winner, will be their 26th show together.

“It’s been a real honor,” Curtis said.

As for the future, Curtis continues to pursue everything: session work, production, performing, and film scoring. “When I came to L.A., I gave myself 6 years to do music, to just do whatever came my way. I’m still doing that. Until it gets to a point where I have to choose, I don’t think I’m choosing.”

Zuri Appleby is no stranger to the spotlight. A lifelong musician born to a musical family, she got her big break in 2015 touring with Nick Jonas before going on to perform with Cynthia Erivo, Willow, Adam Lambert, Janelle Monàe, and a slew of others before becoming Lizzo’s bassist, which places her on stages all over the globe. But a recent appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series performing with rap phenom Doechii gave the world an up-close look at her command as a performer. Already amassing over 15 million views, the video finds Appleby front-and-center-frame rocking her F Bass 5-string and holding it down with an all-star band. Her visibility immediately skyrocketed, as did her respect and adoration from fellow bass players and musicians. 

While that served as the first glance of Appleby’s talent for many people, the transplant from Buffalo, New York to Los Angeles has been working hard at her craft her whole life. She started off as a talented singer and multi-instrumentalist from age five and fell in love with the bass at age 11. At 16 she began gigging around Western New York. After graduating from the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, she was recruited to join the U.S. Marine Corps Band, which served as a musical boot camp (and actual boot camp) that honed her work ethic and sharpened her talent as a musician. After achieving the rank of Sergeant, she continued her studies at Buffalo State College, finding demand for her bass playing immediately afterward.

When she’s not on tour, which is increasingly rare nowadays, Appleby takes her woodshedding and practice seriously, having been raised by a bass playing father and vocal-coach mother, combined with the strong discipline she picked up in the military. Her drive, humility, and gratitude are her biggest assets, along with her deeply soulful work on the fretboard, which has made her a first-call player for the biggest artists in the game. And while she doesn’t prefer to be in the spotlight herself, she’s certainly accustomed to it by now.
