Bio

Rickysee,(Rick Canzano)grew up in a family of musicians in Detroit. Began learning piano at the age of 5 and was writing his own songs by age 10. Trumpet became the love of his life for the next years and guitar was a close second. During high school you would find RC leading the Jazz bands and concert bands and already performing gigs in town doing parties and even clubs at this early age. Rc's father passed away when he was in 11th grade and this pushed the musical focus even sharper. he was off to Boston to study at Berklee and then back to D Town where he opened "Multi Track studios" and began to produce. He spent the following years there producing bands...many of them hard core punk...some of them with names like Butthole Surfers and Die Kruizin. These days you can still find RC out on the town jammin' 3 or 4 nights a week. He plays with the local favorite "Ultraviolet"..and does solo and dou work at various watering holes in the Metro Detroit area. In 2001 he began recording his CD "Lifetrain" most of which can be heard on Broadjam.
