An intimate evening with Prince's John Blackwell
An intimate evening with Prince’s John Blackwell

In 1992, John Blackwell Jnr. studied at Berklee College of Music (USA) and then landed the drum chair with legendary funk group, Cameo. In 1988, Blackwell moved to LA and played on Patti LaBelle’s Grammy winning recording: “Live! One Night Only”. In ‘99, John met Prince and Sly & the Family Stone’s bassist, Larry Graham, at a Patti Labelle concert. Blackwell then began to travel to Minneapolis, on a regular basis, to jam with Prince. In 2000, John performed in Japan with teen pop sensation, Utada Hikaru and officially joined Prince and the New Power Generation later that year. John’s grooves can be heard on Prince’s The Rainbow Children, N.E.W.S. and the certified double-platinum album, Musicology. He has graced the cover of numerous publications including Rhythm (UK) and Modern Drummer (USA), and has performed at every major worldwide drum festival. Currently on Prince’s W2 Australia tour, John continues to be the spectacular and funkified force behind Prince’s NPG. Blackwell must be seen to be believed. Xperience the new generation!
