Marcos Meza (1984) is a Berlin-based Chilean pianist and composer. Encompassing instrumental music with the piano at the centre, his work explores new-classical sonorities combined with elements of electronic and chamber music.
During his teenage years, he started producing Hip Hop and gained experience as a member of various music projects. He complemented his classical training on the piano by studying popular music at the Modern School of Music and Dance in Santiago, Chile. In 2006 he co-founded the rap jazz band, Como Asesinar a Felipes (Koolarrow Records, USA), which has had several international collaborations with artists such as Billy Gould (Faith No More), Chino Moreno (Deftones), among others. As an arranger, Meza has worked in the field of music production, participating in one Latin Grammy award-winning album with Julieta Venegas and three latin grammy-nominated albums with Alex Anwandter and Ana Tijoux. His catalogue also includes music for visual media, open TV, dance and advertising.
In 2015, Meza moved to Germany to expand his artistic horizons, an exploration reflected in his latest albums Piano Reveries and Universo Paralelo. Meza is constantly exploring new sonorities and artistic expressions. You can find him performing live at various venues across the neoclassical and experimental scene.
