CJ  BRINSON AND FAMILY

CJ Brinson & Family is an Atlanta-based improv
collective led by CJ Brinson and powered by the lifelong
bond of his first cousins Preston Stephens and Brandon
Stephens. Together, they’ve been shaping sound since
childhood—transforming bedroom jam sessions into
genre-bending grooves that move audiences of all ages.

With roots in church and a spirit that defies boundaries,
their music fuses raw energy with deep emotional
resonance, creating performances that feel both familiar
and otherworldly. What began as CJ’s dream to give their
sound a true stage has blossomed into a family-driven
force that captivates audiences wherever they play.

CJ Brinson & Family just released their
debut album, Constellation, on February 13th 2026. The project
brings their vision full circle, featuring collaborations
with Grammy-winning saxophonist Kebbi Williams and
French jazz innovator Raphael Imbert—an interstellar
meeting of artistry, legacy, and boundless improvisation
