EARL WINSTON (AKA WINSTON BUTTS)
With The Awesome
‘Funky Big Band’
The Wiz is no newcomer to the entertainment arena. He has a wealth of musical experience having worked with the great Barry White, Donna Summers, Coolio, CeCe Winans, El Debarge, Jody Watley, Angela Bofield, Otis Day & the Nights, and many others.
His career started at the age of 8 when his parents bought him his first drum set. Once he mastered the art of ‘music’ he was allowed to play in his father’s church choir. He went on to play gospel gigs and church radios. Unable to read music he could not join the high school marching band, but he had the ability to play anything he heard and so his teacher decided to give him an audition. It was with the marching band that he learnt to recognize different rhythms and time signatures that then led him on to learning the bass guitar. He went on to play in a jazz band and graduated to play piano and xylophones. He formed his own band and played at jazz gigs around Los Angeles. Today his music is influenced by jazz-fusion, and such artists as Parliament, Gap Band and Roger. Not only is he a talented musician but he can also sing.
