Collaborate: To work jointly with others in an intellectual or meaningful endeavor.

Kelvin (KT) Thompson counts amongst his blessings of life, the gift of music. KT is currently leading and supporting a range of music/arts endeavors as a bandleader and producer of music artsoriented events around the metro Atlanta community and beyond.

His current music and artistic engagements include serving as the founder and music director of the well-regarded Atlanta-based Neo-Soul ensemble, “The KT Collaborative.” He also serves as a pipe organist for historic Big Bethel AME church in downtown Atlanta. The Collaborative plays a wide variety of musical genres including Jazz, Neo-Soul, Pop, R+B, Afro Latin-Caribbean, light rock and Classical. Their performances also typically infuse spoken word, dance and visual art for a truly enjoyable music and artistic experience!!

He and “The Collaborative” perform regularly around the Atlanta region including the High Museum of Art, The Illuminarium Atlanta, the City of Atlanta, Alpharetta Arts Center, The Perfect Note, Marietta, Velvet Note, Alpharetta as well as in Charlotte, NC and other various jazz and arts
venues. He also plays and collaborates when traveling around the world including most recently Cartagena, Columbia and previously Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.

The KT Collaborative was born of his frequent collaborations with numerous artistic and talented musician friends. As “collaboration” infers cooperative or shared objectives to reach a common goal, he and The Collaborative are pleased to bring their musical gifts to audiences locally and globally. For their ICON Jazz Lounge engagement, KT is joined by featured vocalist Myrna Clayton, Brandon Austin-trumpet, Anthony Daniel-bass, and Ron Collier-drums.
