Unc D

Unc D is a bassist, singer and producer from Youngstown, OH. With 22 albums released since 2019, Unc D has reached global audiences with an original blend of jazz, funk and electronic music. Unc D’s style is the result of tapping into his experience as an uneducated working bassist in Youngstown’s jam sesh and funk scenes, while incorporating progressive and experimental electronic production via working with producer/keyboardist Thin Thicket. Inspired by Miles Davis, Unc D’s pragmatic approach is due to a philosophic focus on the method of making music, rather than the result. Early releases, such as BLDNTHNDR, were made using Garageband on an iPad Mini. Bitches Brew inspired splice-editing production, seen on Spagaragus , used first-takes and long form improvisation to create single-length pieces. In 2022, Unc D invented MUMBLE JAZZ (autotuned jazz scatting) Previously limited to just bass, MUMBLE JAZZ allowed Unc D to be a lead voice for the first time (see yeah (ooh) ). In 2026, there are a few different styles at play, such as the solo mumble album 'just the d,' more collabs with Thin Thicket & Nathan-Paul, and funky jazz-house - NEW MUSIC OUT EVERY WEEK.
