Never Turn Me Down (feat. Michelle Yaneza & The Funk Unit)

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...

I’m Manuel Muzzu, Born in Sardinia, island in the middle of mediterranean sea
(Italy) on 06/25/1967, I fell in love with a bass guitar when I was 12 years old.
Graduate on M.I. Los Angeles in 1994 and U.M. Rome in 1997. I have an handicap
on my right hand due to a mistake by the doctors when i was six years old. That
prevent me to use all fingers and wrist. In effort to overcome my disability I
worked hard to find my own technique to play like a normal player, just because
passion is much stronger than destiny. I’m a musician, composer, session and
studio player with over 25 years of experience and many musical collaborations,
including “Tazenda” live band, Monica Naranjo, Tom Porcaro and many others. My
songs are inspired by all different sounds I manage to extract from my basses in a
different jazz styles. Basically I like to play the music I’m interested in, starting by
jazz (fusion jazz, smooth jazz, latin jazz, rock jazz, funk jazz, electronic jazz)
where the lead instrument is the bass guitar. You can call it Fusion, maybe it is.

Hello, I'm JJ and freelance as bassist & lately focusing also on composing, arranging & finally producing own instrumental tunes in various Funk-Latin-Jazz-World Beat inspired styles & flavors.
It's a "One-Man-Band" project so far and all music is done by myself at home. 
I hope you like what you hear and appreciate your visit, any comment or support!🙏❤️

I didn't choose this obsession it was chosen for me unknowingly.
Lucky me no regrets.
