The young bassist Giuseppe Millaci, while pursuing an intense activity as a sideman, introduces today his first project as a leader, the Vogue Trio. Giuseppe Millaci.

Born in Sicily, Giuseppe Millaci is a young jazz musician and composer with a portfolio of distinguished credentials.

After relocating to Belgium as a teenager, Millaci began playing double bass and was influenced by jazz luminaries such as Ray Brown, Dave Holland and Marc Johnson. In 2007, he was accepted at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and trained under the guidance of maestro Jean-Louis Rassinfosse. In 2011, he won the Erasmus Scholarship and attended the Maastricht Academy of Music, graduating in 2013 with a Masters degree (distinction).
