He is a musician/keyboard player and songwriter born in
Letchworth, Hertfordshire, England. He had his own group,Bronze,
in 1981 and it was after he advertised for a singer that he and Basia
started to work together and have done so ever since. He became part of the group
Blue Rondo a la Turk in 1981 which disbanded just a few years later. In 1984 he and Mark Reilly teamed up
and formed Matt Bianco and they were joined by Kito Poncioni who was also
from that group. They had
success with their first album Whose
Side Are You On with Basia singing the vocals. Following that album the
band split up and he and Basia formed a partnership to pursue her
successful solo career. After
more than 15 years Matt Bianco was reformed, working on new material and
touring.
