Saxophonist, Kyle Turner is a native of Houston, Texas. He began playing music at an early age and soon found himself as one of the most recognized young musicians in the area. During his time at Smiley HS, Turner became friends and a protégé of then Houston resident Kirk Whalum. He attended Jackson State University on a music scholarship. 
 
Kyle left Jackson and soon found himself performing on stage with a virtual Who’s Who in jazz and popular music. Some of the highlights include Live at Wembley with Luther Vandross (DVD), tours and concerts with Kirk Whalum, Johnny Taylor, Bobby Lyle, Joe Sample, and others.
