Ciyo Brown

An in-demand musicians' musician, Ciyo's ongoing collaborative works cover a range of genres. His talent has enhanced iconic popular music alongside artists such as Roachford, Linda Lewis, Raghav, Shara Nelson, through progressive Jazz with Soweto Kinch, to the 'new psychedelia' Brit-pop/folk influenced music of Bishi.

Ciyo's jazzy guitar contributions are also present in the genres of reggae and lover's rock and can be found in his live and recorded work with many artists. Ciyo has toured with Courtney Pine, Byron Wallen, Ronnie Laws, Billy Paul, Jean Toussaint, Maxi Priest, Beres Hammond, Horace Andy, Cleveland Watkiss, Steel Pulse and a host of others. He counts quality time spent with George Benson as amongst his most inspiring experiences to date.

Ciyo has five album releases to date with two compilations and a new studio album consisting of acoustic guitar-led soulful jazz due for release in early 2011.
