Born into a family of drummers in New York, Robert Castelli learned the basics from his father and was playing professionally all over the Tri-State area by high school.
Over the years he has studied with some of the most well-known drummers in the world, including Ed Soph, Gary Chester, Kim Plainfield, Tony “Thunder” Smith, Robbie Gonzalez, Robbie Ameen, Horacio el Negro Hernandez, and Joe Ascione.
After several years in Austria, Robert now lives in Barcelona, where he continues to play and record with well-known and up-and-coming artists in just about every style, in venues of all sizes.
Founding ‘Trio of Boom’ in 2007, Robert has played with different configurations of the band over the years, and continues to explore new musical territories as such. Their latest release, Party at One World Plaza, has received excellent reviews and airplay across the world.
Robert will be joined by Francesco LoCastro (guitar, comp), Bruno D'Ambra (keys, comp) and Neville Malcolm (bass).
“Mixes witty melodies with tough swing and nasty funk”
“Castelli’s drumming fades in and out, and when he comes out from the shadows, you realize you’re listening to a guy who is in the same league as Tony Williams, Billy Cobham and Art Blakey”
“This isn’t smoothed out Los Angeles funk; this is get-down, get-greasy and get-dirty music that’s still delivered with finesse and invention”
