Steve Picataggio, a South Florida native, first experienced music in a local music camp at the age of 10. Throughout middle and high school, Steve fully emerged himself in music by taking part in classical percussion, marching drumlines, musicals and big band jazz ensembles. By the end of high school, Steve knew he wanted to be a jazz musician and decided to study with world renowned jazz drummer, Danny Gottlieb, at the University of North Florida. While at UNF, Steve performed with such guest artists as Joe Lovano, John Pizzarelli and Terence Blanchard. In 2011, Steve Picataggio moved to New York City to pursue a career in music and his master’s degree at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Music. He studied and was mentored by Billy Drummond, Martin Wind and Ralph Alessi. Since moving to New York Steve has performed at The Bar Next Door, The Iridium, The Blue Note, Cornelia Street Cafe and The Kitano. As a bandleader, Steve recently released his debut record “Two Feet On The Ground” featuring Mike Rodriguez on Trumpet, Martin Wind on Bass, Joe Alterman on piano and Daan Kleijn on Guitar.
