Marco Boccia graduated as a double bass player at the conservatory “N. Piccinni” of Bari and over the last 30 years of activity he has given his contribution in various musical fields. He started playing in rock and blues bands in the mid-eighties, in chamber music ensembles in the years when he studied at the conservatory, then in national orchestras, of the Province of Bari and Lecce,  also collaborating with internationally famous artists such as Muti, Ughi, Urbini, Veronesi and others.

His studies at the CPM of Siena allowed him to achieve an in depth study of jazz improvisation languages through the wise guidance of musicians like: Paolino Dalla Porta, Furio di Castri, Piero Leveratto and other important representatives of Italian and international jazz, with whom he shared the stage in many occasions. 

He has made many albums and published a first Bass method with Florestano Publishing Company entitled: “The Bass, Theory and Praxis” and a second entitled: “The Bass, Permutations and Progressions” which came out in January 2017 by the same publisher.

 Today he is collaborating with several musicians and bands, preforming repertoires in the jazz spectrum with a particular interest to innovative and unpublished material, both as a composer and as a collaborator. He has a very fruitful partnership with pianist Vito Liturri, with whom he published a first piano trio album, in 2014, by the Salento music label  Dodicilune, entitled: “After the Storm”, with drummer Lello Patruno; and a second entitled: “From Beyond”(2017) with the same label. 
He was the co-founder of the theatre company named “Compagnia Tearto Prisma” working as a stage musician and arranger/composer with the author/director Giovanni Gentile and pianist Vito Liturri, with whom has written/produced several plays. These are currently being performed around Italian theatres gaining a great response from both critics and audiences. 
 
In January 2017 he published his first solo album, a piano trio entitled: “In the Park” with the Roman label AlfaMusic, with the help of musicians Marino Cordasco (piano) and Gianlivio Liberti (drums). This project was selected by critics as Apulian jazz proposal at Medimex exhibition 2017.

He is also a proficient music teacher in several schools of Bari and of the province, teaching the bass, the double bass and improvisation technique.
