Singer,
pianist, songwriter, arranger, producer: Robert Mosci is a musician
with an exceptional range of skill and experience. Born in New York
City, he grew up in a family of musicians, and had mastered an eclectic
array of instruments and musical styles by the time he reached his
teens. Robert played classical bassoon with several orchestras (including
performances with Stokowski and Ormandy), and performed as a keyboard
player, blues harpist, and singer with local NYC bands. Studying
all aspects of jazz and popular music at Boston's Berklee College
of Music, his skills were honed as a pianist while he added saxophone
to his impressive instrumental credits. In Boston, Robert performed
with several popular area groups and also developed a solo act,
incorporating original music into his performances. Following his
return to New York, he played regularly in clubs on the Greenwich
Village scene. He soon began performing at some of New York's elegant
nightspots, and eventually became the resident musician at the Beekman
Tower Hotel's famed art-deco lounge, the Top of the Tower on New
York's east side. |

Robert has recently moved on, and now performs at the famed Water Club overlooking the East River. Known for his sensitive vocal and piano interpretations
of pop standards and original songs, he has attracted a loyal following
of listeners.
Robert's most recent release Holidays received airplay on more than 300 radio stations around the country. His first 3 releases, First Portrait, One by One, and Frankly Speaking have all received significant national radio airplay.
Chip Defaa, cabaret/jazz reviewer in the New York Post called Robert's
a "pure, smooth, yearning voice", and Erickson Blakney
in the Boston Globe said "Mosci has a rich, smooth voice-perfect
for sophisticated classics". Robert has also composed and recorded
several sports music themes, including a jingle used for a NYC sports
radio talk show host, and a theme eventually purchased by a major
New York baseball franchise. He is married to the artist, Sarah
Yuster. They live in cozy Staten Island, where they are raising
their two children. Robert's work has been unmistakably marked by
this breadth of influences - from the classic, to the best of contemporary
sounds-as well as by his innate musical sensibility. His artistry
as composer and lyricist is well matched by his dynamic performance
talents.
