Violin, Guitar, and vocals: the bread and butter that makes Piatt who he is. These skills and talents take the forefront of his new, self-titled album "Piatt Pund" with a combination of Blues/Rock, Jazz, and Soul. Pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a multi-instrumentalist is what Piatt has set out to do with his career. Ranging from Classical to Jazz education, along with bluegrass and pop, all of these genres can be heard clearly within the nuance of his tone and soul. Piatt started his journey in music with a cardboard violin at the age of four. At the age of seven, he picked up the ukulele. From there, his musical interests cascaded forward picking up the mandolin at 13 years-old, the Irish Bouzouki, Dulcimer, Bass Guitar, and Guitar at 14, and finally the Harmonica at 17. These instruments have shaped how he thinks about music, not only arrangement wise, but also how to break the boundaries of what fits the genre he is going for. Hailing from Boulder, CO, Piatt began classical training for the violin. After living in the Centennial State for 12 years, he moved with his family to sunny San Diego, CA. This is where Piatt became involved within his beach community and joined several local bands, as well as formed his duo with his brother. Going into high school, he became exposed to American Roots music and became infatuated with the blues and how it has shaped American history. Piatt found his soul within the blues and plans to take it to new heights.
