Philip Weyand (born 1997 in Mannheim) is a jazz pianist, improviser, and composer.

After receiving a classical piano education, he soon discovered his passion for jazz and improvised music. He completed his jazz piano studies with top marks in 2023 under Rainer Böhm at the University of Music and Performing Arts Mannheim. He went on to earn his master’s degree at the University of Music and Dance Cologne, studying with Hubert Nuss, Jürgen Friedrich, and Paulo Álvares.
 

At the center of his current artistic work is his newly formed trio, in which the acoustic sound of the grand piano is extended and transformed live using electronic effects. With the help of various effect pedals, a hybrid sound language emerges—merging jazz, free improvisation, and electronic music. As a bandleader, he has released two albums under his own name: Myosotis (2022) and Kosmee (2024).
 

In addition to his compositional work, Philip Weyand is active in various freely improvising ensembles. His focus lies on exploring extended, contemporary playing techniques at the piano and developing a personal approach to free improvisation.
 

As a sought-after sideman, he has performed in a wide range of projects and ensembles. Concert tours have taken him across Germany, as well as to the USA, China, Italy, and Brazil. In 2024, he performed at the Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte in Montepulciano, and in 2022, he studied at the Escola de Música da UFBA in Salvador as a DAAD scholarship recipient. Since 2023, he has been a fellow of the Baden-Württemberg Art Foundation.
