Pianist Marvin Lee Jones

For over two decades, Marvin Lee Jones has captivated audiences across Southern California with his signature piano style—an elegant blend of soulful chord progressions, minimalist melodies, and multicultural influences.

A native Angeleno and graduate of California State University, Los Angeles, Marvin draws on a rich personal history and global perspective to create music that resonates deeply with listeners.

Marvin’s passion for travel has fueled his exploration of different musical genres, seamlessly weaving them into his jazz-rooted sound.

Whether performing at upscale events or intimate gatherings, he brings warmth, sophistication, and emotional depth to every performance.

Entirely self-taught, Marvin credits his mother, Rita, for inspiring his early love of music. As a child at symphonies, she encouraged him to close his eyes and truly feel the music—an experience that remains at the heart of his playing today. It’s not uncommon to see him performing fully immersed in a piece, eyes closed, channeling emotion through every note.

Equally skilled at the acoustic piano and electronic keyboard, Marvin tailors his performance to the setting—but his heart belongs to the timeless resonance of a grand piano.

Renowned for his professionalism, he consistently demonstrates reliability and punctuality, in stark contrast to the stereotypical image of the temperamental artist.

His albums, "First Impression" and "Elemental Peace", are available on Amazon, Pandora, Spotify, and iTunes.
