Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is a Chicago-born group redefining what a live band can be. Raised and trained by their father, legendary musician Kelan Phil Cohran, the ensemble blends jazz, hip-hop, funk, and global rhythms into a sound that is both rooted in tradition and built for the future. Their music carries a lineage — one that connects street performance, spiritual discipline, and world-class musicianship. Known for their explosive live shows and international touring, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble has performed on major stages across the world, collaborating with artists like Gorillaz, Prince, Mos Def, and Erykah Badu. Their sound is raw, powerful, and intentional — driven by live horns, rhythm, and energy that can’t be replicated. With their latest project PPL, the group continues to expand their reach, building a global community through music, culture, and connection. This is more than a band. This is the Hypnotic World.
