DFMichael is a gifted instrumentalist, a talented composer, and a charismatic performer. Through his singular combination of lush atmospheres, singable melodies, and thoughtful improvisations, DFMichael has earned the appreciation of a very broad audience that spans anywhere from smooth jazz enthusiasts to pop lovers.
DFMichael's latest album, Dances And Walks, a collection of compositions in different styles from the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, is a worthy and mature successor to DFMichael's first album, Just For A Change.
Dances And Walks showcases DFMichael's inimitable melodic phrasings on all newly recorded dance, smooth-jazz, blues, and pop-like tunes. The tracks melody is played sometimes by the El. Guitar, sometimes by the Tenor Saxophone, sometimes by the Acoustic Piano.
I've been asked often recently what DFMichael stands for. My real name is Damiano Fusco but most English-speaking people mispell my name all the time. So I decided to adopt the name DFMichael for the band which is much easier to spell. The first two initials stand for my real name while Michael is a very popular name and it's easy to spell.
