Massimo de Majo

Born: July 8, 1957

"Drummer Massimo de Majo would have little difficulty measuring up to New York's best." Scott Yanow

Massimo de Majo is a percussionist, an educator, and probably one of the most well-kept secrets in European Jazz. Never indulging in self-promotion, Massimo has often taken directions that have radically changed his career, so - while not widely known by the general public - he's highly regarded by his peers as a true artist and "a musicians' musician".

Italian, born in Rome in 1957, he has spent most of his career abroad, performing with some of the most influential jazz artists in Europe, the U.S.A., Scandinavia, and Japan. During the last thirty years, focusing mostly on performing and teaching, Massimo has also composed for theatre, contemporary dance, video, sound design, and installation art.
