Tito Pascoal

Info:
Tito Pascoal was born in Portugal April 28 1994. Tito`s received his first drum set at age six. Proficient in numerous styles, Tito loves to play jazz, fusion and funk. He excels at them along with R&B, Latin and rock. Tito began public performances at the young age of seven (7) years old, and can be seen on home video playing his drum set at the age six (6). Tito`s CD "Walk the Walk" was released in December along with a virtual "Who`s Who" in jazz music. In the company of several very special senior guests, the following grooved with this jazz junior: Bob Mintzer, Tom Kennedy, Dave Weckl, Tim Pascoal, among other great artists.

Tito is the house drummer for Dream Center-St Louis that is part of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

At First glance, St Louis most recent gift to America`s art form pales in stature to what audiences are accustomed to seeing on the bandstand. But open your mind, eyes and ears (not necessarily in that order). At twelve years of age, the diminutive frame of Tito Pascoal will, indeed, surprise you. While he may not have a list of musical accomplishments yet, Tito is equally deserving of the audience`s attention.

`What excited me the most is that he didn`t try to overplay. That`s a sign of maturity,` said Tom Kennedy. The veteran bassist performs with industry icons Dave Weckl and Bob `Yellowjackets` Mintzer on ` Walk the Walk,` Tito`s newly released freshman CD on the TProductions label.

It`s obvious from Tito`s vocabulary that he has a lot of influences. For instance, Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl,` Tito says with excitement. When he performs, you immediately hear the culmination of numerous styles. He swings with the spirit of a seasoned master, but with a fresh, youthful fire. Both his swing and fire add a great deal of power and strength to his playing.

With the attack of a 20-30 year old, Tito is one of the most exciting live drum performances to watch anywhere. Even with the drop of a stick at one recent show, this tiny tyke did not miss a beat. Tito dazzles you as he continues to play with a confident groove to the rhythm.

Perhaps it comes as no surprise that while the little drummer boy is dwarfed by the size of his drum kit, he is a giant talent. Already quite accomplished for one so young. Tito has liked his first professional endorsement with Vic Firth Drum Sticks. He is establishing a strong fan base of his own on MySpace, has performed as a headliner at Clayton`s posh club, Finale Music + Dining and plans a two week European tour this spring.

`Kids like him are the future of what we do,` said Tom Kennedy. Tito achieves a musical maturity beyond his years with a talent fueled by inner drive and opportunity. Perhaps that is why he has captured the attention of his peers and adults twice his age on the national music scene. - Dawn DeBlaze - St. Louis Sound Magazine (Mar 10, 2007)

`To be that good in six years is absolutely phenomenal.` - Tim Cunningham

Tito Pascoal CD Release - January 6, 2007

`In the Internet age, the term `musical prodigy` gets thrown around a bit loosely — a recent Google search turned up nearly 1.4 million references. But just what are the qualifications? If being a headliner at the age of 12 counts for anything, then percussionist Tito Pascoal of St. Peters certainly makes the grade. Under the tutelage of his dad, keyboard player and composer Tim Pascoal, Tito started playing drums at age 6 — and recently released his debut CD, `Walk the Walk.` It features an impressive array of musicians, including Dave Weckl, Tom Kennedy and Bob Mintzer. ` - Terry Perkings - St Louis Post Dispatch
