JOHN CARROLL KIRBY is an artist based in Los Angeles. Though Kirby's background is steeped in jazz, his signature sound blends genres and styles. An in-demand collaborator for artists ranging from superstars Solange and Frank Ocean to beloved indie musicians Connan Mockasin and Yves Tumor, Kirby has lately focused on his own prolific solo output, releasing five LPs on Stones Throw Records in a little over two years.

*My Garden* (2020), a blend of jazz and exotica, was praised by Pitchfork, The Fader, LA Times, Q, and Mojo. The same year, Kirby released *Conflict*, a calming piano album in response to the year’s chaos. Kirby’s 2021 jazz-fusion release *Septet* marked a return to ensemble playing, while *Dance Ancestral* (2022) with additional production from Canadian artist Yu Su, saw him take a more electronic-forward approach. In March 2023, Stones Throw released *Sundown*, Kirby's album-length collaboration with R&B singer Eddie Chacon.
