Jesus Molina

Inside MusiCast

Jesus Molina discovered his musical gift at a very young age. Born in Colombia, you might assume that his music inspiration was cumbia or vallenato. That wasn’t the case for Jesus. As a self-proclaimed YouTube baby, it was there that he discovered legendary jazz artists, such as Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Errol Garner, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Dizzy Gillespie - artists that captivated him and shaped the musician he is today. In 2016, Molina was honored with the prestigious Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation award, the Juan Luis Guerra Scholarship, which included music education at the Berklee College of Music. Since then, Jesus has emerged as one of the premier jazz keyboardists on the international stage. He recently released a new album titled “Selah” that was produced by the legendary Bobby Colomby. Here to chat with us about the new album, and his sudden rise to prominence on the jazz scene, is Jesus Molina.
