Biography
JOHN BEASLEY
PIANIST, RECORDING ARTIST, TV/FILM COMPOSER, MUSICAL DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, ARRANGER
________________________________________
Louisiana native, John Beasley is a third generation musician. His father is a pianist, bassoonist and composer. His mother is a brass instrumentalist, band conductor and orchestrator. His grandfather was a trombonist. Growing up around musicians, Beasley also learned how to play trumpet, oboe, drums, saxophone and flute, mainly because of his mother’s need for wind and brass instrumentalists for her bands.
Declining an oboe scholarship from the Julliard after high school because of his stronger love for jazz, Beasley went on to play, tour and record with some of the who’s who in music, including Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Chick Corea, Queen Latifah (MD), Christian McBride, Steely Dan (MD), James Brown, Carly Simon, Jon Hassel, Chaka Khan, Spice Girls, Jessica Simpson, Clint Black, to name a few. Recognizing Beasley’s talent for composing and arranging, major recording artists have added Beasley’s original piano sound and music to their projects. While touring with Miles Davis, Beasley was inspired to release his first of eight solo recordings, which was produced by Steely Dan’s Walter Becker.
Highly regarded as a composer, at the young age of 24, Beasley started writing music for Paramount, Disney, and MGM’s television shows, namely: Cheers, Family Ties, Star Trek and Fame. He also wrote the Touchstone TV logo, which is still used today.
