Matteo Rizzi (リッツィ・マッテオ)

I was born in 1976 in Cremona, Italy.
I started to play the game with the white and black keys of the keyboard at 3 years old, influenced by my father who composed music, and I have not stopped anymore since then.
Since 1996 up today I have composed and arranged in various styles such as pop, rock, jazz, fusion, eurobeat, sacred music for pipe organ, soundtrack for short films and background music for television productions. I prefer to work in studio, or to improvise music playing the pipe organ, but if somebody ask me I also like to play live as keyboardist.
Since 2002, collaborating with Delta, released by Avex, I have realized one of mine desires: that’s also to work for the Japanese music market. Since the school years, I have also cultivated my interest for the fine art and Japanese language. I falled in love for Japan and japanese culture...perhaps in the preceding life I was a Japanese.
I have made the artistic studies and deepened the technique of realization of the animation and manga. I don't succeed in giving up none of my passions, therefore besides being a musician, I also deal with art design (illustration, short manga, paint) and japanese language translator (book, animation television series and film dialogue script).
I have so much nostalgia of Japan and his people, therefore I hope to return soon there and to collaborate with some Japanese musicians.
