Robustelli creates an intelligent amalgamation of hearty musical genres which include soul, R&B, rock, funk and hip hop -- all deftly perched atop a strong foundation of jazz. While musical influences such as Steely Dan and Earth, Wind and Fire are subtly apparent throughout, the instrumentation, arrangement and complexity of this record go far beyond a punchy horn section and funky bass line.

Anthony Robustelli is an accomplished musician with more than 23 years experience, which is quite impressive when you consider that he hasn't yet had his 30th birthday. Anthony, who plays piano and keyboards attended New York University where he completed both his undergraduate and graduate studies receiving his Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Performance and his Master's in Music Education.

Anthony is currently touring with Def Jam/Def Soul recording artist Kelly Price and Capital recording artist Pru promoting her hit single, "Candles." Additionally, he has worked with a number of notable recording artists including Bo Diddley and The Jungle Brothers for whom he also served as Musical Director. He has also opened for such groups as The Meters and The Charlie Hunter Trio.

In addition to performing and collaborating with other musicians, Anthony continues to pursue his personal endeavors, which include writing, arranging and producing a six-movement suite, entitled Travels of a Lost Soul , co-writing the score for the critically-acclaimed independent film, Hitman's Handbook, and gigging with his band.
