A Life in Music: The Extraordinary Journey of a Multi-Talented Musician

My guest this time started his musical journey at age 7. From early lessons in saxophone, drums, and piano, he honed his craft in Buffalo before landing a life-changing gig with a Motown-signed band in Detroit. With chart-topping hits like Here Come Da Judge and Soul Clappin', he toured North America, later recording with members of Billy Joel’s Band, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and more.

His career highlights include 11 tours with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dion DiMucci, and performances with legends like Jerry Lee Lewis, and  Frankie Valli. With seven albums, 35 instruments mastered, and global recognition, he continues to shape the music world. Whether on stage, in the studio, or scoring films, his passion for music remains unstoppable. Please welcome King Colton, Someone, You Should Know.
