Through his music, Nico Moreno embarks on a quest to explore Beauty, Truth, and Goodness.

“Great hookup and comradery amongst the trio. Nico is a gifted composer!” — Dave Pietro

Nico has studied under jazz masters such as Peter Bernstein, John Scofield, Michael Richmond, and Alan Ferber. In 2022, he received a scholarship to study and teach at NYU. His latest album, Cornerstone, has received worldwide acclaim, featuring some of New York City’s finest musicians, including Colin Stranahan, Michael Kanan, and Matt Stavrakas.

“His new album impresses with its sophisticated harmonic ability and interpretation, placing him among the top artists in the genre globally.” — Clarin Newspaper, Argentina

Nico began his guitar journey at the age of nine when his mother, moved by his repeated requests and captivation by the sound of the instrument, finally gifted him an acoustic guitar. He started playing rock soon after and began performing at local venues when he was thirteen. His musical journey has spanned rock, heavy metal, progressive rock, fusion, and eventually jazz and Latin American music. 

Nico started to study jazz and improvisation at the age of seventeen, and since then, he has been deeply inspired by the idea of composing in real-time and writing music rooted in the jazz and Latin American traditions. The patterns in music, which deeply reflect the patterns of life and nature, have inspired Nico to write music and explore new ideas.

“A rising star in the contemporary jazz scene, Nico Moreno sounds wiser and more experienced than his actual age.” — Mesmerized magazine

Currently, Nico is promoting and performing his record Cornerstone around NYC, leading his musical project Kaputt, and writing and teaching music at his studio in Brooklyn.
