In spite of a long career as arranger and producer, the name of Marco Taggiasco is mostly known by the audience because of his solo recordings and collaborations with artists like Robbie Dupree, David Pack or Eric Tagg.
The records by this multi-talented musician have become a kind of cult items in Japan and Northern Europe introducing a fresh but yet classical approach to what is commonly called Adult Contemporary Pop or AOR. His style in production is focused on accurate songwriting selection and orchestral approach to melodies and arrangements, both on his own songs as well as on production of other artists' material.
His debut solo album Thousand Things, released in 2004, showcases the talent of emerging singer-songwriter Andrea Sanchini, longtime friend and collaborator. The record has been regarded as one of the most interesting Adult Pop albums of 2004/05.
Marco's second album, titled This Moment and released in 2008, features David Pack and Eric Tagg on vocals, as well as other renowned guests and session players. The CD's recently been reprinted and re-distributed by Japanese label Vivid Sound Corp. with a deluxe package including 2 bonus tracks.
His latest release, the single Got To Believe This Time, written with Grammy Nominee singer and songwriter Robbie Dupree is having great response from the Westcoast Pop community all over the world.
