Pippo Corvino

Project Description

Pippo Corvino is a wanderer in music, as he is in life. Born in the former Yugoslavia, he studied classical guitar until, having outgrown the limitations imposed on him by his teachers, he found his way to Graz and studied jazz at the University for Music and Performing Arts. He has lived in Vienna since 2016. Corvino’s music is built largely on jazz, rock, and classical music but also embraces influences as diverse as 80s fusion, 90s pop, folk, and country. Over time, he has integrated these elements into a timeless, border-transcending music entirely his own. (Excerpt from a short biography, written by Philip Yaeger)
