London-based pianist and composer, Raffy Bushman blends jazz with hip-hop on his debut EP “Look Up”. Having honed his craft along with like-minded musicians over the years, Raffy delivered his first EP, the honest and personal story of his lifelong musical journey through Hip Hop, Jazz, Classical, and Gospel, all major voices contributing to his own individual sound.

The compositions are beat-heavy, yet they exude the love for adventurous harmonies and delicate textures. The trio, comprised of bassist Tom Driessler and drummer Sam Michnik, blends the roots of jazz with a sultry Hip-Hop ethos.

Watch below a video to Raffy Bushman new song “Look Up”, the first single from his self-titled debut EP:

" 'Look Up' is a piece which reminds me to accept life as something which can often be difficult, stressful and painful. All of these things are part of the journey. Don't be afraid. Look up, be brave and keep moving forward", said Raffy about a title track.
