Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, jazz pianist Brahm Sasner currently lives in Manhattan where he received a Bachelor of Music degree from Manhattan School of Music. He is currently one of five finalists competing in the 2027 American Piano Awards.

In addition to gigging throughout New York City, Brahm has toured extensively throughout the United States and abroad. This past summer, in addition to gigging in the Bay Area, he performed throughout Portugal and has played multiple times at Dizzy’s Jazz at Lincoln Center and many other clubs. Over the past several years, Brahm has received awards from  international, national, and statewide competitions including YoungArts and Rubato International. Brahm is an alumnus of the Vail Jazz summer workshop and the SF Jazz High School All Stars.

Beyond performing and composing, one of Brahm’s favorite ways to share music is by teaching. Inspired at an early age by his incredible teachers, he’s committed to sharing his extensive knowledge of jazz technique and history as well as his passion for the art form with the next generation of jazz musicians. He is both honored and thrilled to be selected as a Mentor Fellow at the 2026 Stanford Jazz Workshop.
