Dion Berardo
Born:
Dion Berardo (Dionysios Polygenis-Berardo) is a jazz guitarist and composer based in New York City. He is the leader of the Dion Berardo Trio and is also involved in duets, solo works, and other side projects locally and around the world. His style incorporates elements of bebop, gypsy jazz, contemporary jazz, blues, jazz fusion, and he cites Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt and Biréli Lagrène as having the biggest impact on his music.
Dion was born in Campobasso, Italy and raised in Megara, Greece. He grew up listening to Eric Clapton, the Beatles and Pino Daniele with his parents who were rock and blues fans. Though they were not musicians themselves, his father Leonidas and his mother Massimiliana wanted him to learn the guitar: they gave him his first instrument when he was six years old.
