Ciao Ragazziiiiiiiiii

I`m Marco Mazotti (32) and live in the Center of the Swiss Alps, called WALLIS.
The famous Matterhorn is quite close, so feel free to asked me, if u wanna visit, Arni his wife and me did it once and it was a great pleasure for us, to sign his MEETING BASS in front of this wonderful mountain J

My language is Swiss German dialect, i also speak/write normal German and English.

I play Bass for around 15 years now. I started in local Bands (Rock, Metal), after the School-Age i did lot of Jobs in Coverbands (that was the time - learn to perform) beside Bands with own stuff (Rock, Jazz, Funk, Metal, Pop) we began to write.

After i learned Chemical asistant (Laborant) in industry ---- I work now as a Musicteacher since 5 years (with classes, 13-16 years old Kids). There i discovered the talented Girl STEFANIE HEINZMANN, took her into the School-choir, sended her to the Vocaltrainer and after she finished School, she became a Bandmember of our Band called BIGFISCH. Bigfisch first started as an acoustic Pub Coverband, moved later to a Rockcoverband with own stuff (CD « Chum ins Wallis » came out in 07 and was a big sucess in our valey).

After the big and unexpected sucess of STEFANIE in the german TV Show TV TOTAL from Stefan Raab, 2 Members of BIGFISCH started to form the Tourband for Stefanie. Me (Bass) and Ephraim (Percussion) played the Summer-Shows and probably till end of the Year 08. Whazz up with the future there ? – we will see ….

Since 4 years, i play in the famous Rockband AEXTRA from switzerland too, wich is a cool Job because the are great guys, its own stuff, they have a Majordeal with Universal (New CD is comming out in Sept) and we will play till end of Summer 09 for shure.

Beside my Jobs, i always wrote my own Stuff – and ist still important for me. I made a CD by myself a few years ago called HEALINGCOLOURSOUND. It was fun to discover my force, and i`m still looking forward - beside my Jobs as a Side-Player … to give my own Music room and Space – of course shared with other Members/Ideas.
I hope one day, there will a great Band with no Musical Limits, where i can live my ideology „dont mind wich style, ist just music“ - « SpaceEthnoWorldmusicRockPopMetalJazz“

I also study Musictherapy in University of Art in Zürich. It takes 4 years and i`m in the first now. Beside playing in Bands on Weekends, this Job will finaly take a Big Part in the future of my life.

I like beeing in nature general. Swimming, hiking, snowboarding biking, blading ….
I also like meet friends, barbecues in Summer and stuff like that !

Influences in Bass ; Geddy Lee, Steve Harris, Cliff Burton, Tony Levin a.m.m
General ; KingsX, Rush, Peter Gabriel, Sting (Police), Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, Zeppelin and many many moooooooooooore Styles .. Jazz, Classic, Funk, Metal, Worldmusic, Electronic, Folk …….

At the End, i will say THANK U ARNI for your work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I now him for many years now --- and its a pleasure to visit this site. And to sell / buy other Basses … i did a lot of Deals in the Past, and there where never Problems to get money or Basses. This is a honest community. Thank u guys !!
