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 some 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 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!

Zeff is very professional and talented. The song needed a few rounds of changes, which he did with motivation and precision. I highly recommend working with him !

Utterly spectacular playing (on a very nice piano) and very affordable price. Coming back for more ASAP! Thank you Zeff.
check_circleVerifiedAmazing classical pianist. Did a really good job on a piece by Rachmaninov with a transposed key and tempo changes I indicated: the tempos flow seamlessly into each other and the whole piece full of the emotion and dynamic changes I requested. Shall certainly work with him again.

Zeff delivered a beautifully intimate and expressive piano part that fits perfectly with the rest of my track. Very professional throughout - he was open to experimentation, both melodically and with mic placement, to help dial in just the right tone and feel. Great communication and thoughtful revisions. Highly recommended!

Johnzeff did a fantastic job bringing my first solo piano sonata to life. His communication was thorough, and though the project took some time, it was well worth the wait. His nuanced playing and tasteful liberties elevated the piece while honoring its original spirit. The tone and character of the recording perfectly matched the emotion of the work. Highly recommend him for any piano project!
Interview with Zeff
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: split my work evenly between recording clients' compositions and creating new tracks from scratch. When composing, I work closely with my clients to capture the specific mood and direction they want. I then refine and adjust the piece until it meets their expectations, but most projects are ready for delivery after the first revision. My goal is always to deliver a polished, well-crafted final product that resonates with both the artist and their audience.
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
