Career

Dosik grew up in Los Angeles, California.[2] He started on piano at an early age. In his early teens he started on saxophone and was drawn to jazz and soul music. Influenced by alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe, he performed in the Los Angeles Leimert Park music scene which shaped his musical and cultural perspective on jazz.[1][3] He studied Jazz and Contemplative Studies at the University of Michigan.[4] In college he was a member of the Ann Arbor-based band Ella Riot.[3]

In 2009 Dosik returned to Los Angeles and shifted his focus to songwriting and singing.[3][4] He names Carole King, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye as musical influences.[1][5] In 2012 he released his first solo EP, titled Where Do They Come From?, and a second EP in 2016, titled Game Winner.[4] He started performing as a solo artist and collaborating with funk band Vulfpeck.[4][6][7] He performed on the Jimmy Kimmel Show in 2018 and released his first full-length album, Inside Voice, later in 2018.[8][9] He frequently performs with and has contributed to several albums by Vulfpeck.[4][10]
