Blending Southern hip-hop\, gospel\, Caribbean rhythms\, and jazz improvisation\, Zacchae’us is one of the most exciting emerging voices in contemporary Black music. His debut album JAZZ MONEY\, executive produced by Terri Lyne Carrington\, explores themes of Black spirituality\, history\, and liberation through a bold\, genre-defying lens. \n\n\n\nTogether\, Black Art Distrikt and Zacchae’us Paul would bring a powerful statement in progressive jazz with a sound for today—an adventurous\, soulful\, and deeply engaging performance perfectly suited for Clement’s Place. \n\n\n\nABOUT KATALYST\n\n\n\nEvery decade or so a new band comes to the forefront and changes the course of music\, this decade is no exception and sees the rise of one of the most talented\, diverse collectives of musicians\, writers\, composers and producers otherwise known as Katalyst.

Conceived during impromptu Sunday Jam Sessions at their home base in Inglewood\, the title is personal as it documents the lives and fusion of these nine renaissance men\, equally yoked through 10 tracks that transport you on musical journey unlike any other. \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, they released their critically acclaimed compilation album with the Jazz Is Dead collective\, in which they toured throughout the US in the Summer of 2022. They have performed at Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island and Winter Jazz Fest twice in New York City. \n\n\n\nKatalyst has lent spread their sound across various industries – whether composing original music for films\, performing live on television series\, or providing the sounds for branded events\, their arrangements\, music\, and musicianship crosses over. \n\n\n\nAhmad DuBose-Dawson is a professional percussionist \, producer\, & recording artist from the Central Coast of California. His music style is a kaleidoscopic expression of Traditional African\, Afro Cuban\, World Music\, Hip Hop and Jazz all. He currently resides in Los Angeles where he is heavily involved in the recording as we as the live performance scene playing for multiple talents platform around the city and for multiple LA Based Bands including The Katalyst Collective.
