Grammy Nominated & #1 Billboard Charting Smooth Jazz Bassist Julian Vaughn
A dynamic-lead bass player from Kansas City, jazz bassist Julian Vaughn has made an international name for himself since 2010. In 2020, Vaughn was the #2 Artist of the year and had the #2 and #17 Billboard songs of the year, “Afro Calypso” and “Afternoon Delight.” His latest independent release, titled “SOLO” is slated to be his best work to date. As Vaughn’s recording catalog continues to grow, he hopes to continue to redefine the lead bassist role in the smooth jazz genre.
In 2012 he put out the album Breakthrough (2012), featuring the single “On Your Feet,” which peaked at #1 on the Billboard chart. He later would release albums Limitless (2015), Bona Fide (2017), Supreme (2019) and Chapters of Love (2021). Vaughn racked up four Billboard #1 hits between his albums and 8 #1s overall as a feature on various artists’ songs.
