The son of an Education Specialist and a Military Officer, Loston was born in Bangkok, Thailand and was well-traveled from a young age. He first attended college at Virginia Commonwealth University, later matriculating at Howard University.

Interestingly enough, Loston was a percussionist throughout his early studies, switching to piano at the advice of his new professor Ellis Marsalis, father of the famed Marsalis jazz family and mentor of several other famous jazz artists, including Harry Connick Jr.

Loston performed as a member of the prestigious Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, lead by multiple-Grammy winner Wynton Marsalis. He also appeared worldwide on the PBS special Portraits in Blue with fellow pianist, bandleader, and Grammy Nominee Marcus Roberts. The two-piano tour of Gershwin won both artists rave reviews before each pianist embarked once again on leading their own respective trios and quartets.

As Loston's interest in the classic vocalists such as Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett grew, he decided to record an album to showcase both his vocal and instrumental skills. Comes Love was a critical and commercial success, taking the young artist on a performance spree of high-profile events from the VIP Academy Awards in LA to the GQ Man of the Year Awards in NYC. A cover story in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine crowned Loston the "hip of suburban cool" for his blending of traditional jazz riffs, gospel, and blues with his own unique stylings.

Loston's current release, Timeless, presents the artist as a composer as well as performer and reveals an intimate view of the artist in such love songs as "How Deep is the Ocean" and "On The Street Where You Live" as well as romantic originals "If I Say I Love You" and "Twilight".

Loston makes his musical home at the famed Bemelmans Bar in the illustrious Carlyle Hotel, New York City, New York.
