Bryant Gair: I have been playing the trumpet since I was 5 years old. Playing in marching bands since I was a child, it allowed me to play live stage music. I came up with the name Below Sea Level Soul, not only because I'm from New Orleans and the city is below sea level but also because my band started from the bottom. In the next five years I see more growth and productivity. Percy Harrison: Myself and Bryant always desired a music career. We finally put our heads together and delivered a product that provides a balance. Growing up in the eight ward singing under my mom, it was destined for me to have my own band behind my vocals. Below sea level soul is the source of a healthy sounds of Jazz, blues and funk. October 2016
