The Regiment Horns (Based in Los Angeles, CA)

Founded in 2007 by band-leader Kevin Williams, Jr. (Trombone, Flute & Tuba)

BIOGRAPHY:

The Regiment horn section, established by founding member Kevin Williams, is an authentic, eclectic array of winds and brass, adept in all styles while still maintaining a distinguishable voice. Although currently the section only consists of three members (Kevin Williams, Sean Erick, and Leon Silva Jr.), it is not uncommon to witness at least ten instruments with them on stage or in the studio, giving them an adverse selection of textures and sounds. The young musicians play with the fluency and expertise of the greats while still being and living in today's diverse culture.

To even expand the Regiment's spectrum of sounds, each member brings a unique taste of musical essence from their respective birthplaces. Kevin and Leon, from Boston, bring home the East Coast and Sean, from Berkeley, CA, signifies the West Coast. Now playing together in Los Angeles, the Regiment has performed with and/or recorded with Artists and Producers such as Akon, Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre, Busta Rhymes, Nelly, Mary J Blige, Ron "Neff U" Feemster, The Game, Ashanti, Brandy, Fantasia, Bone Thugz-n-Harmony, Floetry, Bobby Brown, Chaka Chan, Johnny Gill, Pulse of Boston and Take 9.

With extensive studies in jazz, members of the Regiment have also performed with such legends as Benny Green, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Dennis Chambers, Victor Goines and Soulive to name a few. The Regiment is featured in most of the episodes on Season 2 of the hit TV Show "The Boondocks" (Cartoon Network/Sony Pictures Ent.)

The group is managed by Isabelle Merheje of Vertical Horizon Entertainment (Los Angeles, CA)
