When he first sat down behind a set of keys, Julian Davis Reid quickly learned the piano was his voice. The Chicago-based pianist and theologian first found himself in a music class at age 2. He released his fourth album, “Vocation,” in 2025, with plans to bring his tour home to Constellation on Jan. 14.

Reid sat down with host Nudia Hernandez to discuss the album and how he found his voice through music. Hear songs from the album performed live in Chicago Public Media’s Studio 10 on Vocalo.org.
