WHO IS JERRY CHAMPION?
Jerome Clay is Jerry Champion.
Jerome, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston Massachusetts, holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Piano and Voice. While at the Conservatory, Jerome produced a tribute to Steve Wonder entitled "You and I," that received rave reviews in the city's leading newspaper, The Boston Globe. He also performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall as part of the New England Conservatory Choir.
Upon completing his training, Jerome returned to San Francisco and began his career as a
pianist, vocalist, producer, arranger and songwriter. Jerome was quickly recognized by leading five-star hotels in San Francisco as an outstanding pianist, and was pursued vigorously for his employ. He also developed his recording career and produced several recordings of his own material in addition to performing with countless artists in the bay area. Jerome's talent as a writer, arranger and producer comes forth with astonishing results on his new album "You're a Winner". His outstanding musicianship and mastery of the keyboard are a delight to the ears. Jerome clearly demonstrates that he has what it takes to be at the forefront of today's music
scene.
When not performing with Jerry & The Champions, Jerome can be found performing throughout the bay area in a number of musical settings, from Jazz to R&B. Jerome is also an accomplished gospel organist and plays weekly at New Liberation Presbyterian Church in San Francisco. The diversity in style is apparent, as you will agree upon hearing him. Also, Jerome is a dynamic and exciting performer, bringing charm, energy and sophistication to every performance.
