“The new PC3K8 gives me the excitement of a whole new keyboard with all its potential and flexibility! And the Take 6 free samples are just such a treat, they keep me glued to the keyboard more than anything else”

-Mirko Tessandori

Born in Rome – Italy and grew up in Tuscany, I’ve always played since I was a kid (having a piano at home and being the son of a musician) and I begun to study at the age of 11. I graduated in classical music at 23 and afterwards I started my collaboration with Franco Migliacci (Italian producer/lyricist) who led me to record three albums with Stefano Zarfati as keyboardist/arranger.
