The Mosaic Quartet

The Mosaic Quartet is a piano-based art pop band from San Diego, California. Though they play different instruments within the group (JB-Vocals/Guitar/Piano, Chetan-Piano (yamaha artist), Melissa-Bass/Vocals/Flute/Piano, Pat-Drums/Guitar), they feature world class concert pianists. Drawing from primary influences like Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, Nat Cole, and Otis Redding, the classical stylings they weave throughout their songs complimented by Pat's jazz and indie rock approach, creates a sound that's truly their own. Chetan spins virtuosic piano riffs alongside celestial guitar-scapes and pads, a driving rhythm section, and JB's sincere, catchy vocals. Shortly after the band began honing it's musical direction, they caught the ear of legendary producer T-Bone Burnett. A live session ensued at LA's Village Recorder Studios with the 12-time Grammy winner that gave birth to two tracks: the dance pop inspired 'Let's Go Out" and the tempestuous ballad 'Waterfalls.' JB and Chetan first met in Cleveland, OH while each was in school. A handful of songs were written and an undeniable chemistry was definitely there. As life would have it, however, school ended with JB moving back home to Boston where he was honing his song writing technique and Chetan trotting around the globe performing and placing highly in some of the worlds most prestigious piano competitions. Despite some tremendous opportunities outside of the popular music world, Chetan and JB were unable to find the same satisfaction they had when they were working together and decided to go all-in and form a band. They soon recruited Melissa, who was studying with the same piano teacher Chetan had worked with, to play bass and move to San Diego to start the band. Once in town, they hooked up with Pat who had spent years developing his rhythmic stylings through jazz and jam band influences. Virtuosic piano riffs alongside celestial guitar-scapes and pads, a driving rhythm section, and sincere, catchy vocals.
