Artist History Enrico Cerretti was born in La Spezia, Italy. As a teenager, Enrico was already performing with former members of the Benny Goodman orchestras, and after being awarded a scholarship from the Berklee College of Music in 1994, Mr. Cerretti moved to Boston where he earned a degree in Professional Music. Right after graduation he was hired to teach music programming in the school's MIDI labs. In 1998, Enrico moved to Los Angeles where he currently lives, works, writes, performs and produces music for films, TV, commercials, multimedia projects, and songs for major artists. In 1999 he started his own production company, Solonoi Entertainment, through which he produced his first solo album "Tulum". By playing the clarinet in an intimate and very unconventional manner, Enrico Cerretti has developed a fresh new voice for this novel instrument in today's contemporary pop and jazz music scene. In fact, there is no other clarinetist in the world writing and performing this type of music, so deeply impassioned and immediately recognizable by any audience.

Group Members For his first release "Tulum", Enrico Cerretti chose to surround himself with some of the best talents performing internationally such as: Flamenco guitarist Ramon Stagnaro (Eros Ramazzotti, Celine Dion, Yanni), keyboards and programming wizard Jose' Cancela (Miguel Bose', Celia Cruz), lute and guitar virtuoso Alberto Dal Pino (Siegfried Schwab, Eberhard Weber, Abraham Laboriel), charango player Sergio Villegas (Quincy Jones, Sajama), and the stunning drummer/percussionist Mario Calandrelli.

Instruments Clarinet, keyboards, samplers.
