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!
I’ll deliver:
-Professional piano recording
-Up to 96 kHz 24-bit
-Both Raw track and one with a bit of Pre-Mix (for free) so you can directly import it in your DAW
-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!

I have worked with Zeff on several projects and he has consistently delivered wonderful musically expressive and technically proficient performances. This last piece was very complex and demanded a lot from the pianist but Zeff had no problem bringing the music to life. He is also very kind and patient and willing to make adjustments to the recording as needed. Such a great musician to work with, would highly recommend!

Zeff seemed like a great fit for my job, which was a recording of a somewhat complicated piece for a hip-hop track. Unfortunately, without much indication he was going to do so, he spent many weeks re-writing elements of the piano track. When I indicated this wasn't what we asked or paid for, he was hasty to fix it and re-record the piano. Unfortunately, he seemed to have some kind of issue interpreting the music I sent him, because he never was able to play the entire song correctly.

It was a true pleasure working with Zeff on two avant garde minimalist piano compositions. He was very responsive, and highly sensitive in his interpretation of the pieces. A truly effortless performance was delivered in short order. And that is the definition of art. Zeff has my highest recommendation - a consummate professional on every level.

A real professional!
Working with Zeff means talking with a kind and talented person, he listened and understood my needs and delivered the product really quickly.
Will definitely come back! - check_circleVerified
Zeff knows how to play "jazzy" but also "baroc": that's what I learned from my latest collaboration with him. Such a musical palette is not so obvious to find!

Zeff took the part we gave him and created exactly what we needed. From his brilliant articulation of dynamics to his ability to add depth to the original arrangement, Zeff's work was top-tier. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a seasoned pianist.

Zeff is magnificent! He is much more than a piano player: he is a producer, arranger, professional, and a textbook definition of a gentleman. I feel as though the heavens part when I listen to his lovely music. I worked with Zeff on a previous project that left me speechless. And here I stand before you...speechless yet again! Bravo Zeff!

Zeff is an artist that approaches composition and collaboration with heart and soul. The work he produced was deeply thoughtful and connected to the vision I was hoping to articulate. He is technically gifted and treated my song with care and consideration. A world class piano player and a consummate collaborator. He is now at the top of my list for all future piano parts I might be searching for.

Zeff recorded the piano track for a new original song. I asked him to provide as much emotion in the recording as possible. He masterfully created a recording that is rich in dynamic expression and full of feeling. I am very happy with his work and would strongly consider him for future projects.

Zeff est un musicien extrêmement talentueux ... et intéressant. Il possède un toucher plein de nuances, il sait prêter toute son attention à des projets même "polémiques". Il ne rechigne jamais pour modifier un premier jet. Je remercie cet artiste pour ce qu'il rend possible.

Zeff is nothing shy of a mastermind when it comes to piano. It's as if he has a sixth sense when it comes to creation. He elevated my song to a seriously impressive level. I almost had tears in my eyes listening to what Zeff created. He brought out beauty and intensity in my song that I never even knew was there. I am beyond the moon with joy at the final product that Zeff created. I highly recommend Zeff's services. Hire Zeff for your project and he will bring it to life.

Zeff made two lovely harpsichord backing tracks for Baroque songs on my forthcoming album 'Songscape', which traces 1,000 years of song. It's hard to find people to play harpsichord on SoundBetter. Many thanks Zeff!

Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Zeff is such a gifted classical pianist. Breathed life into my composition. Highly recommend!
- check_circleVerified
Sometimes, a composer or a tune-smith knowns exactly what he wants, but, due to his short knowledge of the target music instrument (this is my case as a guitar player looking for the keyboard), he needs the assistance of a person who masters the said instrument. This is what I found by Zeff: he is patient, makes variants for the same musical material. As a pianist, Zeff plays with precision and soberty, but he is able to "modernize" - if necessary - the style and/or the global sound of a work.

Zeff is an incredible virtuoso, he is very professional and very pleasant to work with. Communication is always fluid, fast and he is very available. He always cares about the details and I'm always happy with the end result. Thanks Zeff!

EXCELLENT work! A talented pianist who’s easy to work with and able to demonstrate mature musicality in his playing! I will definitely work with you again!
- check_circleVerified
Zeff deserves five stars! not only is he an artist but a very "scrupulous" musician. He knows how to render the spirit of a composition. The task wasn't that easy: transposing guitar music to the piano! I couldn't expect a better rendition, technically and aesthetically speaking.
- check_circleVerified
Excellent work, easy to communicate with! I would definitely use again
I hired Zeff once for a piano track and he delivered an absolute masterpiece. I then hired him to produce one song. The first time he sent me what he had I thought it was perfect in so many ways. It literally made me cry because it represented all the feelings I wanted to display.
I will keep working with this man that really knows how to create art.
Yesss! A Real Pianist! Bravooo, Zeff! Well done! Greetings from Dublin.
Zeff was so kind and professional. He met the brief and was flexible in refining the details. Highly recommend!
Interview with Zeff
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
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I generally record my client's composition, i follow them step by step so i can perfectly understand the feel they want for the piece, and i record as many times as it takes so they can have the best product (but 90% of the timeafter the first revision the project can be considered complete)
