About

Hi, I’m Tyriq Baker, a multidisciplinary musician, composer and performer based in Birmingham, with a BMus from the University of Huddersfield. I perform on piano, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone and more, and I’m active in theatre, film and education. I love blending jazz, classical, folk and Caribbean influences and collaborating with ensembles, theatres and schools to create engaging music and soundscapes.

I also write and produce original music for stage and screen, lead workshops, and mentor others through initiatives like Black Lives In Music. I’m passionate about sharing music, storytelling and culture through performance, education and collaboration.
