Lil' John Roberts

Lil John Roberts is a drummer with far too many significant connections to list in full. He's one of the most significant session and touring musicians of his time, as well as a member of his own group, the Chronicle. During the early '90s, he was awarded a full scholarship to study at Berklee College of Music, where he remained for two years prior to joining fellow Philadelphians DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince on the road. He then continued to perform with dozens of musicians and took part in sessions for albums by the likes of George Duke, En Vogue, George Benson, Sinéad O'Connor, and Faith Evans. In 2014, Roberts released The Heartbeat, on which he was joined by a large supporting cast. ~ Andy Kellman
