The name of the band is Muzikal Alkhemizt (Musical Alchemist), and we also go by MZA Band. We're based out of Dallas, Tx and it's a 4 piece that usually includes drums (Q "Philly" Leonard), Main Keys (Shaquawn "Quawn" Ross), Auxiliary Keys (Terrence "Trip" Triplett) & Bass (Max Gann). We play many different genres but some of the ones we play most often would be Neosoul, R&B, Funk, Blues, Hip-Hop and Southern Soul. We play all around the DFW Metroplex but we also travel out of state as well. We're a versatile band that prides itself in having the ability to not only do cover shows, but play behind artists as well for their own personal shows, as well as doing studio work for other artists.
