I have been playing with gusto and curiosity since 1986. From the strong musical roots of my father, Hugo Fattoruso, I inherited the gifts of melody, harmony and rhythm as well as an impeccable ear and the wiring to put them all together. If the music is good, I love it, feel it and want to play it, no matter the genre. My true fire, however, ignites with rock and jazz and the more I play, the more I want to keep playing.
One might catch me around the Seattle area playing with Nikki and the Night Owls, a loungy quartet delivering tasty renditions of pop, R&B, jazz, rock and blues classics, or at a wedding or office party with my live karaoke band, JukeBox, where you and your besties can be the lead-singing stars of the show, or as Memory Lane, a solo/sometimes duo performance of American songbook material from the 40s through the 60s.
I compose my own stuff (check out the Music page), arrange, write lyrics... I can cook a decent Gumbo, too.
