I’m a full-time professional piano player, composer and music producer. I’ve worked in some on the most important recording studios in Italy and I’ve had the pleasure to work with hundreds of artists, inside and outside the platform.
In my 18 years of experience I've studied in multiple prestigious music school like the ''G. Rossini'' Conservatory in Pesaro and the Music Accademy in Italy, in Pinerolo.
Even if my training was Classical, in the last 8 years I've started studying all genres of music, from NeoClassical (like Yiruma or Arnalds) to Pop music. I've also had a bit of Jazz training. You can ask me anything you have in mind!

-Professional piano recording
-Up to 96 kHz 24-bit

-I can use my professional keyboard to also deliver a MIDI file
-Unlimited revisions (if they are coherent with the original request)
-Sheet music (as extra)
-Commercial right (as extra)
I offer a lot more services, to know them all you just need to send me a message!

It took a little bit longer but it was so worth it!
Zeff is a fucking genius.
He really helped me elevate my song to another level.
Highly recommend.

Zeff composed, played and recorded an amazing harpsichord backing for a 'Baroque-style' version of the song "What was I made for" that I'm recording in Italian. I can't wait to record the vocals for this piece - which I always imagine as a very modern opera aria!

Great as usual!

Second recording with John, always a very attentive listener, always ready to take a real interest in comments of all kinds, with the sole aim of producing a clean, finished piece of work.

I asked Zeff to play a piano piece I'd written and he did a great job. Wonderful playing on a real grand piano with a beautiful singing tone. Zeff was really easy to deal with and accommodated all my requested amendments as the project moved along. Would definitely recommend him.

Zeff composed a fabulous harpsichord accompaniment for a traditional Italian gondola song, and recorded it with his customary musical flair. I'm really looking to recording the song on my forthcoming EP of Italian music. Grazie mille Zeff! 🎶

Second time working with Zeff, and once again very pleased! He did a piano recording, mix and master, for a piano solo piece. My original writing needed a bit of rework, which Zeff handled tremendously. He was also very agreeable with feedback and revisions to get exactly where I wanted with this project. Very happy!

Zeff was fantastic to work with! I needed 3 piano pieces professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered, and he did just that. He was faithful to my original compositions, while also improving things like rhythm, embellishments, and overall style - which I had also asked him to do. His pricing was fair, his communication was great, and the quality superb. Would definitely recommend!

I asked Johnzeff to record a piano song that I wrote and he once again did an outstanding job exemplifying his skill at interpreting the music. He delivered a recording full of insight and emotion all within a short amount of time. I feel very fortunate to have found such a talented pianist.

Someone (he might have been Etruscan) once said: Veni, Vidi, Vici. What followed was mass murder and bloodshed but the point I'm making is this: Zeff did exactly what he promised he would do. He's not only a thoughtful artist but a true musician. He listens to what the music tells him, and then performs it outstandingly!

Excellent and instant communication
When something wasn't quite as I asked he very quickly redid it and created a perfect version. - check_circleVerified
Zeff is a very talented player with strong communication skills. He played a classical piece for me and nailed it while meeting the deadline.

Zeff has been very professional and quick, despite the fact that we couldn't provide an adequate material for the recording. The result was great! I highly recommend working with him.
Interview with Zeff
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: split my work evenly between recording clients' compositions and creating new tracks from scratch. When composing, I work closely with my clients to capture the specific mood and direction they want. I then refine and adjust the piece until it meets their expectations, but most projects are ready for delivery after the first revision. My goal is always to deliver a polished, well-crafted final product that resonates with both the artist and their audience.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: At the beginning of every project i kust study the piece. I print the sheet music and i note everything i need, fingering, dynamics, even the atmosphere i wanna recreate and i really focus on the interpretation. When i feel confidend i'm gonna produce a good performance i record everything. I try to listen to the recording the day after, so i have 'fresh ears' and i can edit a bit the recording (add some reverb, a bit of EQ ecc ecc)
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I studied classical piano for 17 years, before in an Academy and i graduated from one of the most prestigious Conservatory in Italy, so i bring to a song a really crisp and clean sound, and a great attention to details, in the dynamics and the phrasing of the piece
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: The musician that ispires me the most is definitely Olafur Arnalds. I love his soft and deep sound, and his simple but really beautiful and interesting melodies. I try to recreate that atmosphere when i play
