Jesus Molina, a Colombian jazz pianist, vocalist, and saxophonist, was born in Sincelejo, Colombia in 1996. Molina started playing saxophone at the age of 12 and three years later, at the age of 15, he decided to change instruments and only focus on piano.
In 2016, Molina received the prestigious Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation® - Juan Luis Guerra Scholarship which included a full scholarship to renowned Berklee College of Music. His first appearance at NAMM in 2018, in collaboration with Nord Keyboards, became an important moment in Jesus' career due to several of his performance videos going viral.
