    the whole biography
    Since launching his music career at the age of 15, he has collaborated on records with numerous major-label artists and TV shows, including Kelly Rowland, Ryan Leslie, Kaskade, Tiesto, The Chainsmokers, Just Blaze, Steve Aoki, Diana Gordon, MKTO, and Travis Scott, among others. To name a few, The Vampire Diaries, X-Factor UK, and The 100 have featured his music. When he secured his first contract with Sony/Ultra Records under the imprint Mysto & Pizzi in 2011, he embarked on a journey to new heights in the electronic music scene. On their YouTube channel, which chronicled their career path, the duo garnered over 50 million views. In an effort to reinvent his artistic sound, Pizzi is currently exploring organic components combined with pure analog synthesis. Since 2017, he has drawn influence and inspiration from genres like Afro House, Amapiano, GQOM, and various world cultures, including his own Haitian heritage. As the resident DJ for the Descendants Afro Experience in New York, he has already shared the stage with many well-known performers in this area, including Le Soul, Cairo, Tomer, Mörda, Karyenadasoul, Citizen Deep, and Breyth. His objective is to generate original rhythms and soundscapes for generative art, showcasing his skills as a producer, DJ, and visual artist/designer.
