Kyle Eastwood
Kyle Eastwood's first memories of music are of jazz. Jazz was the only music he listened to for the first ten years of his life, thanks to his father Clint Eastwood's lifelong appreciation for the genre. The two attended the Monterey Jazz Festival regularly as Kyle was growing up, and there was something magnetic about watching someone play for an audience, even watching Clint play the piano at home, that completely captivated the young Kyle. But it was only in 1986, two years into a film studies major at USC, that Kyle realized that music, and more precisely jazz, was his true passion. He took off what he thought would only be a year to pursue music, and has not looked back since. Having dabbled on the electric bass as a teenager, he now also plays the upright, acoustic, and double bass. He lives between New York, LA, London, and Paris, and this no doubt influences his playing style. In the seven years between Paris Blue and his first album, From There To Here, Kyle established himself on the Paris jazz scene. He decided to take up residence there after spending a significant amount of time in the City of Light over the years. He was moved by the city. His now 11-year-old daughter began to go to school there, and he settled into a metropolis he sees as extremely open-minded to different kinds of music. Kyle was continuously working, however, notably composing tracks for films such as "Mystic River" (2003) and "Million Dollar Baby" (2004). He has an innate film sensibility from starring in 1982's "Honkytonk Man," and his father went so far as to marry his two loves by directing "Bird," a biopic of Charlie Parker. Kyle says he enjoys the film work he's done, and it seems he will continue to lend his musical talent to all sorts of media. As someone who has had myriad opportunities to shine in many different careers, Kyle Eastwood has truly carved his own path as a musician whose playing reflects the richness and diversity of his life experience.
