Kenny Peagler is a pianist, Hammond organist, vocalist, and musical director whose career spans three decades on stages that include Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, the Apollo Theater, Blue Note NYC, and Barclays Center, alongside festival credits at Umbria Jazz, North Sea Jazz, and SXSW. A Pittsburgh native trained at the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts and New England Conservatory, Peagler has performed for President Barack Obama and built a career bridging jazz, soul, classical, and sacred music traditions.

Operating under his own imprint, Trisect Entertainment Group, Peagler stepped forward as lead vocalist on his 2026 album We Are Just Human, produced by Poogie Bell and featuring Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Will Lee, Bakithi Kumalo, Jimmy Haslip, Lakecia Benjamin, and Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez. The record earned an 8/10 from Music Connection Magazine and a feature from SoulTracks.

Beyond the stage, Peagler serves as Director of Music at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, DC, and created the Learn the Hammond video series, which has reached more than one million viewers and built a dedicated following among organists, keyboardists, and producers. Moving fluidly between improvisation and arrangement, Peagler delivers performances built on craft rather than spectacle.
