Emanuel Harrold is a versatile musician, producer, and songwriter whose artistic journey interweaves the rich tones of jazz with the depth of soul and the infectious rhythms of funk. Grounded in a profound understanding of musical tradition, emanating from his roots as a St. Louis native, Harrold has built his reputation as a dynamic drummer and a creative force to be reckoned with. Perhaps best known for his tenure with Grammy Award-winning artist Gregory Porter, Harrold's percussive expertise has been a fundamental element of Porter's distinctive sound, supporting it on international tours and acclaimed albums.

Beyond his collaborations, Emanuel Harrold's solo work showcases his eclectic prowess and ability to cross genre boundaries. His releases such as "We da People" and "Funk La Soul" demonstrate his aptitude for crafting grooves that hit hard with soulful authenticity. The "Look Forward - EP" and his single "Luv Hurt" featuring Chris Turner, further accent his capability to both lead and collaborate, offering a canvas where jazz’s improvisational spirit meets the storytelling heart of soul music. Engaging with other talented artists like Saunders Sermons II on "Special Time," and tapping into reflective thematics with the track "True Need," Harrold's music is a testament to his continual evolution as an artist committed to pushing the boundaries of his creative expression.
