Born in Pisa, Italy, and based in the New York City area, Marco Accattatis has been playing the bass guitar and writing music for the past 25 years. He also works as a freelance arranger for the UK based music production and publishing company Artemis Music. Marco began his music studies at age 8 on acoustic guitar but it wasn't until later on that he had the opportunity to play the bass guitar. This happened when his older brother Livio asked him to join his rock'n'roll band. Originally self taught he began studying with various teachers as he realized that music was becoming a carreer. A few years later he moved to the U.S. to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston, after having being awarded a scholarship at the Berklee Summer Clinics at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy (thank you Dave Clark!). After graduating summa cum laude in composition and performance he relocated to New York City upon being offered a three year residency at the NYU New Music And Dance Ensemble at New York University. He now lives in Jersey City, NJ. Over the years Marco had the pleasure to perform with many talented artists such as Stefanie Seskin, Randy Brecker, Lew Soloff, Andy Anderson, Tony Trischka, Yanick Etienne, Kristy Cates and Sigourney Weaver. His radio, TV, and film credits include Fox, MTV, MTVLA, NJN, WISC-TV, E Town, WBQX, WFUV, WNJU, and WRUW. His compositions have been performed in Europe and the United Sates.
