Biography
A pianist/composer who grew up in Italy and currently resides in Bavaria. Berra started piano lessons at the age of six and studied at the Music Conservatory in Sardinia for four years. He says that his father’s collection of phonograph records was also a big influence on his music education, introducing him to the music of Keith Jarrett, Bob Dylan, Paolo Conte, and Italian and American songwriters. In 2002, Berra was awarded a scholarship to attend his senior year of high school in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where he discovered jazz, blues, and other forms of American music. He played the piano in restaurants on weekends, and when he returned to Florence, Italy the following year, he started playing in clubs, bars, and hotels while continuing his music education privately. Berra has been playing in luxury hotels in Italy and, more recently, in the Bavarian forest. In addition to composing, recording, and collaborating with other artists, he also performs concerts in theaters and music halls, and teaches privately.
