Multi-faceted guitarist Colin Sapp has carved a distinct new sound among guitarists by fusing elements of jazz, rock, blues, funk and electronic music into a unique and stylized approach. Equally at home in many genres, Sapp has shown his versatility as a musician by performing and recording with dozens of unique and contrasting artists over the past 15 years.

Background
Originally from suburban Detroit, Sapp relocated to Boston and absorbed the east coast energy and experimental perspective. He graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in 2002, where he studied with some of today’s most innovative modern guitarists, such as Wayne Krantz, Dave Fiuczynski, Mick Goodrick, Jon Damien, and Tim Miller. Since then, he has toured the United States with Liz Carlisle, Ron Moore, Russell Wolff, Choose to Find, Franky C and the Donors, and has performed with Blue Note recording artist Kurt Elling.

Performer
Sapp is currently a member of Choose to Find, Missing Traces, Allyssa Jones’ Gemini 5 and also performs with The Well. Not to be lost in the mix is Sapp’s undeniable writing. His original jazz/jungle group Infinite Out is comprised of guitar, electric piano, electric bass and drums and is what he considers his main creative outlet when not working with his other groups.

Studio
Sapp is a senior engineer at Specialized Mastering in Framingham, MA, where he has worked on over 150 recording projects. Sapp also regularly produces, engineers, and plays on independent projects at his home studio and various studios around the Boston area.

Educator
In addition to performing, writing, and recording, Sapp is also the Program Coordinator at Roland Hayes School of Music in Boston, and is a faculty member at the Berklee Saturday Music Program at the Boston Arts Academy, where he teaches private lessons and leads the Advanced Jazz Ensemble. He continues to teach privately outside of school, which he has done for 18 years. Sapp is currently writing two guitar instruction books and an improvisation book, which he plans to publish himself for his students' use.
