Award-winning Canadian vocalist and multi-instrumentalist and composer Howard Anderson has contributed to world’s music scene for over three decades.   His saxophone, piano, and vocal performances can be heard on dozens of albums ranging from jazz, R&B, rock and roll, and pop.  Howard’s creativity has spawned a cornucopia of songs, compositions, and arrangements – including scores for film, apps, and video games.

Born in 1973 in Toronto, Canada, Howard’s musical talent was nurtured from an early age.  He took up the piano at age five and began playing the saxophone at age 10.

From 1994 to 1998, he attended Humber College where he studied privately with Pat Labarbera on the saxophone and Don Thompson on the piano.

In the spring of 1999, Howard traveled to Jacksonville, Florida where he continued to pursue his study of the saxophone at UNF under the tutelage of Bunky Green.

From then on, he split his time between New York City and Toronto where he immediately landed gigs and studied with some of those cities’ great musicians.

After prompting from a fellow musician, he moved to the west coast of Canada.  He would remain there; continuing to perform, recording in the studio, and honing his musical skills.  He is now a first-call solo performer, sideman, and experienced bandleader who dazzles his audiences worldwide.

 

Howard divides his time performing between Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
