Born and raised in Cuba and the Bay Area, Pinderhughes studied harmony, jazz and composition. Later Pinderhughes moved to New York to study music at Juilliard under Kenny Barron and Kendall Briggs. After meeting MacArthur-winning playwright Anna Deavere Smith, he began to combine film and theatre with his music in radical new ways. His Transformations Suite examined the radical history of resistance within African Diaspora communities and was followed by the critically acclaimed GRIEF album in 2022.
