Cornish, a Houston native, has quickly become one of the most talked-about pianists of his generation. His debut album, You’re Exaggerating!, is a nine-song set of originals showcasing his lyrical, dynamic style.

A Rising Star in Jazz

Cornish was one of only seven young musicians worldwide awarded a full fellowship to the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz at UCLA, where he completed his master’s degree. He has since performed across the globe with legends and innovators alike, including Joshua Redman, Louis Cole, Mark Guiliana, HAIM, Terrace Martin, Kanye West, and many others.

In 2023, Cornish was a finalist in both the American Pianists Awards and the Herbie Hancock International Jazz Piano Competition.
