Fabio Ferri is a Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music sits at the crossroads of jazz, classical and electronic dance culture. Known for high-energy live sets and richly melodic writing, he leads a full band that moves between deep grooves, soaring harmonies and moments of improvisational freedom.
His work blends sophistication with immediacy — complex ideas delivered with a sense of fun and forward motion. He's been called "Bristol's answer to Frank Zappa" for his imaginative, genre-blurring approach.
When not performing or recording, Fabio teaches guitar, flute and composition — helping students find their own voice, whether that's their first chord or their next creative breakthrough.
