Jaylen Petinaud

Instrumentalist Jaylen K. Petinaud is thriving on the music scene as one of the most sought out drummers and composers in the entertainment industry. He is currently on tour with Herbie Hancock, Kenny Garrett and Theo Croker. His style and execution formulate an unleashed technique that uplifts soulful harmonies. His infusion of worldbeat rhythms into contemporary funk celebrates a revolutionary tune. Jaylen is versed in multiple genres such as jazz, gospel, pop, classical, hip-hop, and r&b but is ready to produce a brand of his own.

 

Born and raised in Brooklyn, the young talented drummer grew up playing in the church and followed the lead of many trailblazers. He graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in 2016 and earned a Bachelor of Music degree in jazz studies at SUNY Purchase College in 2020. He studied with jazz greats Jon Faddis, Kenny Washington, and Matt Wilson. As Jaylen transitioned into his career, he developed a forward-thinking signature. Mentored by Zane Mark, his guidance helped Jaylen navigate to a different plateau.While he’s no stranger to the Broadway scene, Jaylen made his official Broadway debut as an arranger and composer of the recent Tony-nominated revival, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuff” under the direction of Camille A. Brown. Along with his contribution, he has done extended work with her company, “Camille A. Brown & Dancers” doing residencies and workshops. Simultaneously, he worked on the new musical, “Black No More” starring Tariq Trotter, known as, Black Thought from hip hop group “The Roots”. In addition, he’s been working on pre-productions of “A Wonderful World” and Disney’s “Aida”. He frequently performs with Broadway stars Joshua Henry, Amber Iman, and Brandon Victor Dixon. From Broadway to Television, Jaylen played live on PBS network with Brandon Victor-Dixon & went back to his roots playing the drums in a church scene on the Season 4 premiere of “The Last O.G.” starring Tracy Morgan. Jaylen is currently working on “THE HARDER THEY COME” at The Public Theater in NYC.
