MARCO VASSALLO

Marco Vassallo is a young multi-instrumentalist from Genoa. He approaches the world of music from early childhood, thanks to the passion passed on to him by his father.

He began his education around the age of 20 months, playing fingerstyle/fingerpicking guitar exclusively for a decade; at the age of 11 he entered the Niccolò Paganini Conservatory of Genoa, which he attended for a time.

At the same time, two new interests blossomed: that of rock music and that of the keyboard world. These two paths are pursued with time and daily practice; in particular, the study of electric guitar continues and is perfected with studies at the Lizard Academies in Turin, under the aegis of Tony de Gruttola.

As for the approach on keyboards, however, it is the result of prior knowledge of music, which has always been analyzed very critically, including-but not only-thanks to theabsolute ear, and, above all, to many hours of daily practice.

Not least of all, a great passion forinformation technology made the keyboardist's "nerdy" world of automations and MIDI one of his main fields of knowledge.

One of the experiences that marked Marco the most is undoubtedly his encounter with the reality of Musicoff Young; within this project he was able to confront extremely heterogeneous dimensions, both musical and human, and derive great growth from it.
