Lamar Sorrento, a native of Memphis, began painting in 1992 and by 1994 his works were displayed in the Tennessee State Museum, The House of Blues, and in the collections of many celebrities. He is completely self-taught and began to paint in order to celebrate his obsession with gypsy jazz legend, Django Reinhardt. He has taken his love and passion for music to the limit, producing literally hundreds of paintings of his favorite blues, jazz, and rock & roll musicians. His work has also been featured on several album covers. He has been a featured artist in the annual “Art of Music” exhibit for over five years.
