BIOGRAPHY
Award-winning saxophone player Aaron Bing, whose memorable performances sharing the stage with The Temptations, Tyrese, Gladys Knight, Jeffery Osborn and Brian McKnight inspires a new generation of jazz fans, was born in Miami, Florida of Dominican/African American descent.
Born in Miami to parents of Dominican-American descent and raised in Jacksonville, Aaron Bing discovered early that music could redeem even the harshest circumstances: he never met his biological father and was abandoned by his mother at 12, yet—after adoption by a loving family, he transformed a battered hand-me-down clarinet into a lifeline. By seventh grade he had moved from bass clarinet to baritone horn and French horn, staying after school for private lessons with a band director who sensed raw genius. A year later he found the saxophone, first mesmerized by Kenny G, then steeped in the phrasing of Grover Washington Jr. and David Sanborn, and wrote his first original song in tenth grade. By graduation he had self-produced a full album and could already navigate 21 instruments, a multidimensional command he still wields today.
​
The soprano sax remains his compass—breathy, velvet-toned, and capable of gospel-like altissimo arcs guiding eight studio albums: Always (2005), Christmas Dream (2008), Secret Place (2009), Rebirth (2011), Legacy (2012), Otra Parte De Mí (2013), Awakening (2015), and Aaron Bing (2017). Several landed on Grammy® entry ballots, and in 2006 he sustained a single sax note for 39 minutes 40 seconds on The Late Show with David Letterman, a nationally televised salute to Kenny G’s world-record feat. Determined to preserve artistic autonomy, Bing founded Century Records and Vibe Media Live, LLC, handling every layer of his career—from writing, arranging, engineering, and performing nearly every track to designing global tours and multimedia branding.
​
His orchestral instincts soon migrated to the screen: Bing’s score for the feature drama Flint Tale landed on the 92nd Academy Award consideration ballot for Best Original Score and gave him an acting cameo as jazzman Clayton Xavier. Additional music followed for HBO Max’s true-crime series The Staircase and the international thriller Red Election, cementing his reputation for translating complex emotions into cinematic soundscapes. Onstage he has shared bills with icons ranging from Brian McKnight and Tyrese to Gladys Knight and Frankie Beverly, his horn weaving call-and-response dialogues that hush festival crowds or ignite stadiums.
​
After four years focused on scoring and select tour dates, Bing returned in 2025 with “Forgive Me,” a faith-anchored sax-and-vocal duet featuring Breana Marin that fuses satin-textured jazz with a narrative of redemption. Its candle-lit video mirrors that journey, shifting from monochrome austerity to watercolor bursts of grace. To celebrate, he launches a six-city Celebrity Experience Tour in November 2025: guests arrive on a Hollywood-style red carpet, explore a gallery lounge of Grammy memorabilia, witness a two-act concert—part master-class, part full-band spectacle and end the night at an exclusive dessert reception for autographs and personal photos with Bing and surprise celebrity friends. Full dates and ticket links will debut first on AaronBing.com and his social channels.

Whether crafting smooth-jazz hymns, Latin-jazz crossovers that honor his Dominican roots, or orchestral themes that elevate film, Aaron Bing’s mission remains unwavering: to create music that uplifts, heals, and transcends every border—of genre, language, or circumstance. His story of resilience and virtuosity proves that a single, soulful note—played with purpose—can illuminate an entire room and, sometimes, an entire life.
