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

​

After receiving a classical piano education, he discovered his passion for jazz and improvised music at an early age. He completed his jazz piano studies with Rainer Böhm at the University of Music and Performing Arts Mannheim in 2023, graduating with highest honors. He subsequently earned 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 work is his newly founded trio, in which the acoustic sound of the grand piano is live-processed and expanded with electronic effects. This results in a hybrid sonic language situated between jazz, free improvisation, and electronic music. As a bandleader, he has released two albums under his own name: Myosotis (2022) and Kosmee (2024).

​

Alongside his compositional work, Philip Weyand is active in various freely improvising ensembles. In these contexts, he explores extended contemporary piano techniques and develops an individual approach to free improvisation.

​

As a versatile sideman, he performs in stylistically diverse formations ranging from jazz to Brazilian-influenced music. As a pianist, he moves fluidly between different musical contexts. In addition, he performs live as a keyboardist with the German-Turkish indie band ENGIN, where he brings his musical language into a band-oriented, song-based setting.

​

His engagements have taken him throughout Germany as well as to the United States, China, Italy, and Brazil. In 2024, he performed at the Cantiere Internazionale d’Arte in Montepulciano; in 2022, he studied at the Escola de Música da UFBA in Salvador as a DAAD scholarship holder. Since 2023, he has been a fellow of the Baden-Württemberg Art Foundation.
