Kirby has worked with Solange, Frank Ocean and more in recent years.

Pianist and composer John Carroll Kirby is releasing a new album, titled My Garden, this April via Stones Throw.

Writing, recording and producing My Garden himself, Kirby looked to the spiritual teaching of Sri Dharma Mittra for opening track ‘Blueberry Beads’, incorporating flute samples and piano compositions recorded with iPhone voice memos.
