Daily Dose Of Jazz…

Meeco was born on May 2, 1976 in Berlin, Germany. As a young child he was heavily influenced by his father who played classical piano and his poet/artist mother, thereby making it completely natural to follow their footsteps. Beginning piano lessons at six years old, and after several years of studying classical music, he sought other musical outlets. After a friend introduced vintage Ella Fitzgerald, Horace Silver and McCoy Tyner records, he became enamored with Black American music.

Mentored by his close friend, the late New York pianist/singer Bob Lenox, he realized that the only important thing in music was creating the right feeling. He would go on to work with German producer Marco Meister, founding member of the group Terranova, Meeco gained invaluable studio experience producing his own music.

Over the course of his career Meeco has recorded with Benny Golson, Gregory Porter, Ron Carter, John Scofield, Hubert Laws, Kenny Barron, Buster Williams, Kirk Whalum, Richard Bona, Casey Benjamin, Mary Stallings, Freddy Cole, Kevin Mahogany, Bennie Maupin, James Moody, Eddie Henderson, Shedrick Mitchell, David “Fathead” Newman, Eric Reed, Vincent Herring, Victor Lewis, Stefon Harris, Lionel Loueke, Cedar Walton, Charlie Mariano, David Friedman, just to name a few.

Not limiting himself to jazz, Meeco has also produced hip hop and soul legends Talib Kweli, Masta Ace, Smif n Wessun, Lil Fame of M.O.P., Yahzarah, Jean Baylor, DJ Stylewarz, along with Latin and pop genres Joe Bataan, Jane Birkin, Jaques Morelenbaum and Romero Lubambo.

Pianist, composer, producer, deejay and photographer Meeco, who has released seven albums to date, remains based between Berlin and Paris, France as he continues to expand his musical horizons.
