As Larry Crockett himself says, "To be a drummer, you need a certain artistic commitment and a lot of dedication." Over the years, this incredible and sensitive musician has proven his worth alongside legends of soul, blues, pop, funk, and gospel music, such as Martha Reeves, Liz McComb, Sam Moore, and Eric Bibb.
Larry Crockett was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, in 1963. He learned drums with Michael Carvin (Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard) and quickly became known for his skills.
Larry Crockett wants to tell his story through a sparkling soul/funk sound. He believes in the authenticity of speech. "Music allowed me to stay on the right path and stay positive. When whites and blacks were fighting on the street, I focused on my drum lessons. In my opinion, love has no color, and the same goes for music. I never thought that skin color should be a controversial topic. There is so much violence in society that I chose the other way."
