Judson Hurd grew up in the beautiful country of Paraguay, at an early age
he was deeply influenced and mesmerized by this simple way of living. At the age
four he stumbled across his mother's childhood piano. His first 'teacher' was an
old instrumental piano cassette a missionary couple left after leaving the
country. The expressive, folk, piano vibrations of Philip Aaberg (Judson's
childhood idol) and the simple, romantic Latin culture had a creative impact on
his music.
After years of being self taught and improvising smooth, cool grooves over Bach
inventions his family moved to Ciudad Del Este where he began his formal studies
at the Franz Schubert Conservatory. At the age of 12, Judson Hurd rose to be one
of the prominent youth pianists of Paraguay. He went on to study music theory
and composition at Young Harris College and the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro School of Music.
Judson now resides in Wilmington, North Carolina where he is still moving
audiences through his music. His music has reached over 100,000 views on
YouTube. He writes music for radio, TV, including companies Android, Jaguar,
Land Rover, the Oprah Show, PBS, recorded countless session work, and has
performed alongside Five For Fighting, Gavin Degraw, Fighting Instinct, Todd
Agnew, pianist David Nevue, and many others.
