While in the Florida's Orange County Public School System, Bill started playing the trumpet at age 12, while attending Zellwood Elementary and continuing through Apopka Junior and Senior High Schools. He went on to study music at the University of Florida, where he played in the marching, concert, symphonic, orchestra, and jazz bands.

Bill has played with some of the best musicians on the planet. He continues to be a long time member of LC SWING (Lake County Swing Band) and The Gerry Williams Band. He is the leader and cofounder of “ICTUS” and performs with a wide range of musicians from all around the globe. Bill doesn’t “name drop” unless asked, but he is respected by his peers through the spirit of their mutual gifts.

By the Grace of God, Bill’s trumpet continues to sing and bring joy to audiences near and far. Bill thanks The Creator for his talent everyday.

Hi there, I’m Jaquay

I support organizations and individuals who seek understanding and succession of a unique employee population.

Through my extensive human resources background within talent and leadership development, I'm here to show you how to encourage diverse thinking to reveal cohesive and competitive talent, while making it all feel organic teamwork.

When I'm not conducting training and consulting, you can find me creating and producing music through my love of the violin – while occasionally nerding out to film scores and soundtracks.

A Soulful Maestro of Smooth Jazz

Orlando-based saxophonist Bennie Yarbrough creates smooth jazz rooted in soul, emotion, and genuine connection. His relationship with the saxophone began at just four years old, and by the age of ten, he had already earned his first paid performance—laying the foundation for a lifelong journey in music.

Inspired by artists including Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, Grover Washington Jr., John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, and Stevie Wonder, Bennie has developed a sound that is warm, expressive, and unmistakably soulful. His laid-back tone has been described as having the warmth of honey, while his energetic and heartfelt performances invite audiences to experience every note—not simply hear it.

For Bennie, music is more than entertainment. It is a way to communicate emotion, create meaningful moments, and reach people beyond the limits of words. Whether performing an intimate ballad or an upbeat contemporary groove, he brings passion, authenticity, and a deep respect for the musical traditions that shaped him.

Bennie’s debut single, “When It Hit Me…,” introduces listeners to his signature blend of smooth-jazz sophistication, soulful expression, and melodic storytelling. The single offers the first glimpse into his forthcoming album, Silent Conversations, scheduled for release in November 2026.

Through Silent Conversations, Bennie explores the emotions, thoughts, and unspoken moments that often communicate more powerfully than words. The album represents a defining new chapter in his recording career while remaining true to the soulful sound and emotional honesty that have shaped his artistry from the beginning.

Through every recording and live appearance, Bennie Yarbrough seeks to leave audiences uplifted, inspired, and more connected than they were before the first note was played.
