Bio

Pianist, composer and arranger graduated from Lino Gallardo Music School and specialized in Jazz and Popular music with the Master Gerry Weil. He was the principal pianist of the Simon Bolívar Big Band Jazz, (one of the most prominent jazz Project in Venezuela in last decade) performing in several festivals and prestigious stages both nationally and internationally such as: Jazz al Parque (Colombia), Dizzy’s Club Jazz at Lincoln Center (New York) and New England Conservatory (Boston). After putting together his own Jazz Trio, Baden performed in several national festivals and theaters as a band leader: Noches de Guataca, Festival de Jazz de Paraguaná, Festival de jazz de Barquisimeto, etc. By 2014 he was considered one of the most important pianists of his home country, which allowed him to play and collaborate with most of the relevant Venezuelan artists: Pablo Gil, Rafael “el pollo” Brito, Aquiles Baez, Eddy Marcano, C4 Trio, Kiara, Mirna Rios, Primate, etc.

His successful career both as a pianist and composer in Venezuela is reflected within the important Book of Banesco entitled "A New Musical Country" which includes him as one of the youngest and most promising figures in Venezuelan Jazz, dedicating an entire section to his career. Furthermore, his work as composer and arranger has been acclaimed both in the Venezuelan audiences and internationally as well, reaching the peak recently in 2017 when he was awarded with 2 Latin Grammy (Best Album of the Year & Best Album of Salsa) and 1 Grammy (Best Latin Tropical Album) through his collaboration (as composer) with Ruben Blades, who wrote lyrics for one his compositions (¿Adónde?) and include it in his latest album entitled “Salsa Big Band"

Carreer in New York and Overseas

In late 2014 he was honored with the President Scholarship at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, where he lives since early 2015. In this same year, he became a Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation ambassador, being awarded with The Gifted Scholarship, one of their most prestigious scholarships which supported and sponsored his studies in New York. Being already settled in the city that never sleeps, Baden Goyo had worked in several musical projects with artists from all around the world having the chance to play in the most prestigious musical scenes such as: Merkin Hall (Lincoln Center), Dizzy’s Club (Jazz at Lincoln Center), The Capitol Theater, Paramount Theather, Jazz in the Square Series, Madison Square Park, United Nations, Subrosa, Groove, The Bitter End, etc. In addition to this, since 2016 he has constantly participated both as a sideman and as a bandleader in several international festivals such as: Bern Jazz Festival, Nordic Jazz Festival, Nisville Jazz Festival, Jazz on the River Festival, Latin American Cultural Week, Harlem Summer Stage Festival, among others. Currently he is the Director of Music programs and workshops coordinator at the prestigious local company Music Makers NYC. In 2019 Baden was asked to parter with Rock Piano Legend Chuck Leavell, (pianist of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Allman Brothers, among others) to teach the skills of Latin Rock piano in his successful online learning platform "iROCKU"

His pianism is already technically polished, his phrasing, nuanced and subtle. He is a true and natural pianist

Kirk Nurock

Mr. Goyo’s compositions are distinguished by melodic lyricism, harmonic sophistication, rhythmic vitality and formal organization that ‘tells a story’ to the listener
