Pier graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA in 2010 (on scholarship) with a Bachelor in Piano Performance, graduating with honors. He has been playing piano since the early 1990's, starting out as a self taught musician, which helped him develop his ear training and improv skill. Pier began playing professionally at the age of fourteen as both soloist and in bands, performing in clubs and events. Since graduating from Berklee, Pier has become a full time musician, between touring, studio session work, composing, and teaching. In 2015 his trio debut album was given 5-stars from All About Jazz, and he was a finalist in the Made in NY Jazz Competition in the solo instrumental section. Pier has been teaching since 2008, and offers all styles, including jazz, pop, rock, soul, blues, electronic, country, folk, world, and classical.
