Style
Katzman grew up listening to classic rock and soul music. His influences include soul, R&B, funk, rock and folk. As a songwriter, a primary focus for him is a song's lyrical theme. He writes parts for guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards. His favorite songwriters are those who "capture a moment in cultural time" such as Frank Ocean, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon.
Personal life
Katzman's father, Lee Katzman, was a jazz trumpet player with the big bands of the 50s and 60s (Stan Kenton Band, Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa) and the CBS and NBC orchestras. In the late 60s he was a member of Herb Albert's Baja Marimba Band. Katzman's maternal grandparents, Albert Tipton (flutist) and Mary Norris (pianist) were both classical musicians with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Aspen Music Festival and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Vulfpeck
In addition to his solo work, Katzman is a member of the funk band Vulfpeck. Formed in 2011, Vulfpeck is a four piece instrumental group made up of Katzman on guitar, drums and vocals, Jack Stratton on keyboards, drums and guitar, Woody Goss on keyboards, and Joe Dart on bass.{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/@DeeHaze24/can-t-fake-the-funk-b9bddcdfaf80|title=Can't Fake the Funk|author=Danny Hazan|publisher=Medium|date=May 18, 2015|accessdate=December 1, 2015}} The band has released four EPs and six studio albums.Vulfpeck releases:
