Description

Vocal and Piano Duo Extraordinare Antoine Diel was born in Manila, Philippines. Hailing from a musical family, Antoine sang from childhood in church as well as competitions and public events. He grew up in Los Angeles, California where he continued singing in high school and studied in the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California earning Bachelors and Masters of Music Degrees - Vocal Arts. Antoines' credits range from operas, musicals, plays as well as solo and choral concerts in both secular and sacred music, ADR/voice-over and singing on recordings and demos for movies and various projects. He now calls New Orleans home and astounds audiences nightly all throughout the city with his outstanding soulful singing. His band, the Misfit Power, is comprised of some of the hardest working, talented musicians in the city. At five Joshua Paxton received a little yellow toy piano that he banged on for years, playing along with TV jingles and music on the radio by ear. At 11 his parents gave into his pleas for piano lessons and bought him his first piano. Though classically trained, by the end of high school he saw his future in jazz. As an undergraduate he attended the University of Miami and Bowling Green University, then went on to study under Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans, earning a master's degree in Jazz Piano. Buffa’s is committed to finding a way to pay our musicians fairly while maintaining socially distanced tables as required by the City of New Orleans. In order to do that we are selling full tables (either 2, 4, or 6 seats). The charge for this event is $10 per person, and purchase of a full table is required. This insures musicians fair pay and puts no pressure on our guests to have to relinquish their table due to upcoming reservations.
