About me: My name is Maurilio (Mo'). I'm a bass player of long experience.
Bio:
My friends call me Mo, I hail from Ticino, Switzerland, a small beautiful country in the Alps. I recall being fed heavy musical meals of The Beatles, Elvis, Bill Haley, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, just to name a few. At the age of three I was already intensely concentrated on how to play a guitar, but at the age of 14 I fell in love with the Bass. I started playing with friends and began taking lessons with the local pros. One of my first real working band was an Elvis Presley Tribute band.
When my formal education ended, I apprenticed as an electrician and took a job as a technician in a company all the while playing in several bands. After years of a day job I didn’t much care for, I decided to get involved seriously as a professional musician. I packed my bags, sold my belongings and said goodbye to my friends and moved to Los Angeles to study and train at The Musicians Institute. Upon graduation (awarded outstanding student) I was asked to stay and teach.
I speak fluent Italian, French and English, basic Spanish.
Facts:
I've been playing lots of different styles: blues, country, disco/dance, folk, funk, jazz, latin, rock, r'n'b, r'n'r, swing...
In the last several years I've been teaching at the Musicians Institute of Hollywood, “live” workshop, “rhythm” workshop and private lessons, aside playing with different bands and doing some recordings here and there...
