Born in Huntington, West Virginia, Bazel began his journey with the piano at the age of five, drawing inspiration from The Beatles’ iconic debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Ed Bazel’s music blends elegance and emotion and has received numerous accolades for his work as a composer, pianist, and producer. His independently-produced albums Bella Piano, Homecoming, and The London Sessions–a collection of three albums–have been applauded by multiple organizations from the InterContinental Music Awards, Solo Piano Awards, the World Entertainment Awards and Clouzine International Music Awards.
Bazel’s most recent album, A Weekend in Marin, is celebrated for its soothing and introspective melodies, evoking the California Pacific coastal highway.
