Bela Fleck is an American banjo virtuoso and multi-Grammy Award-winning artist who has been at the forefront of bluegrass, jazz, classical, and world music for over four decades. Born in New York City in 1958, he grew up surrounded by music and was exposed to a variety of musical styles early on. His mother was a concert pianist and his father was a folk singer. His first instrument was the banjo, which he began playing when he was 15 years old. He quickly became proficient in the instrument, mastering both traditional bluegrass techniques as well as more modern jazz improvisation. In 1975, Bela joined the progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival where he further developed his signature sound that would later be known as "Flecktones". He then went on to form Bela Fleck & The Flecktones with Howard Levy (harmonica/keyboards), Victor Wooten (bass), and Roy “Futureman” Wooten (drums). This group released several albums throughout the 1990s including Flight of the Cosmic Hippo (1991), Live Art (1996), and Left of Cool (1998). These albums showcased Bela's incredible versatility as an instrumentalist and composer while also introducing listeners to new sounds from around the world.
Throughout his career, Bela has received numerous awards including 14 Grammy Awards out of 30 nominations! In 2009, he won three Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Album for The Hidden Land, Best Contemporary World Music Album for Throw Down Your Heart: Tales From The Acoustic Planet Vol. 3 – Africa Sessions, and Best Country Instrumental Performance for “Love Please Come Home” with Alison Krauss & Union Station. He also won a Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Classical Crossover Album for Perpetual Motion with Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain.
