Desmond Ivey, a native of Jamaica from the West Indies, is a virtuoso guitarist whose music transcends genre and geography. Blessed with an extraordinary gift and refined through decades of study, Desmond performs with a rare blend of technical mastery and heartfelt emotion. His vast repertoire spans Classical, Spanish, Jazz, and Sacred compositions — the timeless languages of the guitar. He studied under Dante Rosati of The Juilliard School of Music in New York, and his artistry reflects the polish and depth of that training. For over 12 years, Desmond has been a beloved figure at Lincoln Center’s premier restaurants — Bar Boulud, Fiorello, and The Smith — where he has serenaded countless guests exiting the theater and dining under the lights of the city. His performances have also graced weddings, private events, corporate functions, and political gatherings, adding an atmosphere of grace and sophistication wherever he plays.
