Bio

EPIC MOVEMENT's live performance has been described as a roller coaster of emotion. Electric.  Energetic. 

Inspired by life and citing notable acts such as Chick Corea, Snarky Puppy, Prince & Robert Glasper as musical influences, this Detroit-based ensemble's music is an emotional fusion of Jazz with an occasional mix of Funk, Soul, Rock and Latin elements. In addition to a unique sound, emotion-evoking songs with odd time signatures, it is the band's mission to bring a very lively performance with insane levels of positive energy……an EPIC MOVEMENT.

ProjectOne: Dreamer

Recorded in front of a live audience at RMS Sound Studios (Birmingham, MI), comes the CD/DVD "Dreamer", an eclectic fusion of contemporary Jazz from a group of some of Detroit's most talented, young musicians.

The DVD, a full-length feature film, includes the entire album recording session of one-take, live studio performances, intertwined with a documentary that follows the band through the process. The film, places focus on band founder, drummer and primary composer Devon "D-Rock" Whitehead through his journey to live out his DREAM as he shares the ups and downs of assembling a cast of amazing young musicians in Detroit, to form Epic Movement and record his first album.

DREAMER, is an inspirational and motivational story with music that is sure to move your body, exercise your brain & warm your heart.

 “About a year and a half ago I tracked my first jazz fusion song and I wondered if I should try to pitch it, but it was something I never acted on.  But after tracking three more, I realized that "I could really do something with this!"  And that is how Epic Movement was born”, recalls D-Rock.
