Pia Cincotti graduated from Fordham University as a playwriting major. She was one of four people chosen to study in London at the prestigious Writer's Guild of Great Britain.She has participated in writing workshops at Playwright's Horizons, Primary Stages, and Second City.
Pia’s plays “AFTER THE CRASH” and “FOUR OF A KIND” had readings and staged productions at The Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, Fordham University in New York, The Actors Theatre of Orcas Island in Washington, and The Producers Club in New York. In October 2011, the Midtown Direct Theater Company produced the first reading of “HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN?”
Peter Cincotti, a native New Yorker, began playing piano at the age of three. While in high school, he regularly performed in clubs throughout Manhattan, and at age 12 performed a private concert at the White House.
While attending Horace Mann high school, he studied classical piano at the Mannes College of Music. At age 13, he was chosen by the school to perform at a Steven Sondheim concert tribute at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and in 2000, Peter received an award for his performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival piano competition. At age 18, he became the youngest performer to ever headline at the prestigious Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in New York, garnering attention and publicity from all over the country.
In 2003, Peter’s debut album, produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, reached #1 on the Billboard jazz charts, making Cincotti the youngest artist to ever do so. This led to acclaimed performances at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and many other prestigious venues all over the world.
Peter made his acting debut in the Kevin Spacey film Beyond The Sea, and also contributed to the film’s soundtrack. He then made a cameo appearance in the blockbuster film Spider-Man 2. His original song “December Boys” was featured in the Australian film December Boys, starring Daniel Radcliffe.
In 2006, Cincotti teamed up with world-renown music producer David Foster to record his first album of all original material for Warner Brothers Records entitled “East Of Angel Town.” His single “Goodbye Philadelphia” took the airwaves by storm reaching #1 throughout Europe’s Top Ten, and in the spring of 2009, Cincotti brought the album to the United States by joining the artist Seal on his sold out American tour.
Peter’s highly anticipate new album of original material is set for release in spring/summer 2012.
