Tyrone Allen II

Trusted on the bandstand, in concert halls, the studio, and the pit orchestras of Broadway, Tyrone Allen II has proved not only to be one of the most consistently in-demand sidemen on the NYC scene, but a generational talent worldwide. Since 2018, his name has appeared in publications like the New York Times, JazzTimes, WBGO, and was featured in the 2024 DownBeat Critics Poll for “Rising Star Jazz Group" as one third of the Sullivan Fortner Trio. In 2025, Tyrone made his debut appearance in the Rising Star Bassist category of the same poll. In addition to performing, recording, and touring worldwide with creative music luminaries like Terri Lyne Carrington, George Garzone, Jazzmeia Horn, Gerald Clayton, Nicole Glover, JD Allen, and Wendy Eisenberg, Tyrone is currently the bass chair of the 10 time Tony Award winning Broadway show Moulin Rouge! The Musical. In 2024, the debut of his solo project under the moniker TY.000 (Ty-thousand) was released to critical acclaim. His band TAiiQ (the Tyrone Allen II Quartet) has also been performing more and more since its inception in 2021. He hit a milestone as the 2024 Tribe for Jazz Artist in Residence in Columbus, OH, where he performed as TY.000, with TAiiQ, and as a sideman with Miki Yamanaka and Kazemde George. His next release will be his debut LP entitled UPWARD. The release features an augmented version of TAiiQ, with production credits by Tyrone and Abe Nouri of Billie Eilish. The album will be released in Spring 2026.
