Ron Minis began classical piano lessons at the age of six at his family’s encouragement, and later added electric guitar and drums to his musical arsenal. But this classically trained young musician’s heart belonged to the harder forms of rock. After working on various projects early in his career, especially punk, noise rock and metal, he brought these experiences into the piano trio format, found his own voice, and laid the foundations of the music he now takes around the world.
His YouTube videos, in which he tells the story of his own musical journey with humor, such as “When You Want to Solo Like Slash but Your Parents Sign You Up for Piano Lessons”, went viral with millions of views. Showing how an acoustic piano can be played like a guitar, these videos won Ron a large global fan base.
Musical adventures that combine the latest technology and sound effects are a playground for Ron Minis. A killer piano trio with effects and pedals connected to the piano and a distorted guitar that sometimes joins the show: when the music he calls ‘brutal jazz’ meets the audience’s excitement on stage, it is no exaggeration to say the place catches fire. Just as their dynamism is about to take your breath away, Ron Minis’ concerts bring you back with gentle melodies, offering a surprising and unique experience that ranges from jazz to punk and from classical to electronic sounds.
