Forrest Sansing
Forrest Sansing has been playing piano since the age of six. He began by taking classical lessons and quickly began showing his talents in playing recitals and earning high marks and praise from adjudicators at local piano competitions. With those strong musical fundamentals, Forrest began to explore other opportunities such as jazz bands at school as well as the Stax Music Academy after-school program. After only a few months in the Stax program, Forrest was honored to be a part of Stax’s first international summer tour through Italy as one of the youngest members of the band. Throughout his academic career at the Universtiy of Memphis, he began playing professional gigs around town with various groups and mentors. He graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Piano Performance, and began instructing young piano students. A longtime resident of Memphis, Forrest moved to Asheville in late 2020.
