marcoricciardi + Musician in Rushcutters Bay, NSW

ABOUT

Hello there,
I'm NOT currently looking to join a band. I'm available for one-off projects though.
I'm a professional musician, composer, music producer, and audio engineer, with more than 40 years of experience in the industry.
I also teach piano by ear in the Eastern Suburbs, songwriting, and music production.
Look for Piano by Ear - Rushcutters Bay, if you'd like to learn more about my teaching practice.

Influences

I'm originally from Rio so Brazilian and Latin music are in my DNA.
I have gone through the whole 9 yards of conservatory piano education so classical music had a great influence in my life.
I was an absolute prog-rock head when I was a teen so this also had a massive impact on me.
I became fascinated with jazz and fusion in my late 20s so another box checked.
And now I make a living writing, recording, and producing music for all sorts of media, including TV broadcasts.
So, bottom line, my influences are pretty much everything under the sun...but not everything at the same time...it varies!
