Izzy Mastriforte

Izzy is a versatile keys player based in Bristol, also performing in London and Brighton, with over 12 years of experience. Classically trained for more than 8 years, I've since found a deep connection with jazz and Neo-soul piano. I’ve had extensive experience playing solo jazz, in jazz duos, and even with big bands, which has shaped my dynamic approach to music. I had the honor of conducting the Bristol Hornstars Big Band—voted the best big band in the South West—and currently manage one of Bristol's biggest jazz nights, blending my passion for performance with event coordination. My inspiration for jazz keys is rooted in the great minds of Oscar Peterson, Bobby Timmons, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Zoe Rahman, driving me to create fresh piano sounds and experiment with unique patches. I am a bubbly, hardworking, and dedicated performer, and aim to bring a vibrant presence to every stage and event I play.
