RENAISSANCE

Kelvin Sholar has been called a “stylistic chameleon”; due to his ability to thrive in different musical settings. Savoy Jazz recording artist Eric Vaughn (who also provides a composition) appears on drums and percussion, with bassist / cellist Charles Sammons in tow. Sholar, Sammons and Vaughn have been together for more than ten years as an active piano trio– together they make a credited cameo performance in Kimia Kazemi’s upcoming film Crimson Unveiled (2026); while Sholar and Vaughn make a credited cameo performance in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme.

Grammy-winning producer / guitarist Chris Sholar is known for his genre-bending work with Qtip, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Esperanza Spaulding. He contributes two powerful remixes which further pushes the boundaries of imagination and creativity.

Truly immersive visual journeys are offered in addition to audio recordings. Three animated music videos and record cover by Aleksandra serve as both graphic interpretations and stand-alone artistic expressions in and of themselves. She designed RENAISSANCE: The Game, which allows users to interact with unique environments, (even Abstract Zombies,) while listening to tracks from the record. Michael May captures the album’s emotional essence in a series of ten photographs- each corresponding to a different track.
