Patrick Rugebregt, born in Veenendaal 1986. Started playing piano and keyboards when he was 7 years old. Got his first lessons at the age of 9 at the local music school in Veenendaal. First contact with jazz and improvisation music was when he was invited to play in a youth Big band and a jazz ensemble. Together with Jorn ten Hoopen who currently studies at the conservatory in Rotterdam he formed a jazz duo known as Yopaggio jazz Duo in which they both experimented with their new found music. At 18 years old he took private lessons from Edwin Berg and the year after at the age of 19 he was admissioned to study on the Conservatory in Utrecht. There he recieves lessons from Bert van den Brink, Cor Bakker and Randal Corsen.
