Million is a professional jazz pianist and composer. Jazz has been in his blood ever since he saw his first live performance at the age of seven. Million has since recorded three CDs featuring his writing, arranging and playing on Palmetto records: “Million to One,” “Thanks a Million,” and “Truth Is.”

Before settling in Chicago, Million lived in Kansas City and New York City. But he loves the city of Chicago, citing is as a place where one can balance making a living with being creative.

Today, in addition to performing, Million teaches jazz piano both privately and at the Merit School of Music in Chicago.
