Louis Jones III

Born: June 27, 1999

Louis M. Jones III is a dynamic drummer and composer emerging from the heart of Detroit's storied music scene. From playing rhythms on pots and pans with wooden spoons to gracing festival stages, Louis has developed into a versatile and emotionally expressive artist with a voice rooted deeply in the city's rich musical legacy.

By age 13, he had committed to a life in music, honing his craft with sticks, brushes, and mallets. He studied under Detroit jazz luminaries such as Wendell Harrison, Marion Hayden, and Sean Dobbins—mentors who, along with his father's guidance, shaped his artistry and connection to Detroit's diverse soundscape.
