Andy Dello Ioio

Story

I have been playing the drums with live bands since I was 16. After I graduated from High-School I became more serious about playing music and improve my music skills. I started practicing drum Technic and kept doing it for years, later on I developed my drumming learning under the direction of two very professional drum teachers. Beside, I kept playing with bands, playing different styles of music and playing a lot of gigs. Then, I learned playing the piano, mostly jazz-piano. This led me to compose my own music which is of course pretty much jazzy. Right now I am looking for a breakthrough with my own compositions and also looking to join a great band.
