Mike Prigodich

Born: March 16, 1970

Hailed by critics as a composer whose work “may reshape how jazz fusion is approached in the 21st century,” Mike Prigodich is a jazz fusion pianist, composer, and bandleader whose music blends intricate architecture with emotional immediacy. Drawing inspiration from innovators like Chick Corea and Dave Grusin, Prigodich creates rhythmically daring compositions that fuse jazz with Latin grooves, rock energy, and global influences from his early years in East Africa and SE Asia.

He first gained attention with his 2011 debut album A Stitch in Time, featuring an all-star lineup including Damian Erskine, Reinhardt Melz, and John Nastos. Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign following Prigodich’s life-altering cancer diagnosis in 2008, the project marked a powerful artistic turning point. Producer and keyboardist George Whitty called the album “one of those discs you want to hear again as soon as it’s finished.”
