Past Projects
Guitarist for “American Idol,” Natalie Cole, George Benson, & Dave Koz
In addition to being a very talented musician, Nick has the inherent leadership qualities to direct or produce many professional musical projects, whether it would be in contracting musicians for an event, orchestrating for any studio date, or directing diverse ensembles for TV/Film. In my positive experience working with Nick, I have no doubt that I will see him in many high profile situations in the future!
Music Director for “American Idol,” Kristen Chenowith, & Katharine McPhee
I always recommend singers and show-people in the business to Nick. Not only is he a great player, but he’s a team player with an incredible all-in attitude, which is the ONLY combo that works in this town.
Composer for “Modern Family”
Makes the sessions go much easier with Nick Petrillo’s charts!
Composer for “Nashville” & “Seal Team”
Nick is the consummate professional. Always skillful, always reliable, and always musical.
Composer for “Nashville,” “Under The Dome,” & “The West Wing”
Always diligent and provides great work!
Special Events Producer, Warner Bros.
We love being able to customize our music to the different themes our events take on. Nick Petrillo Music is always great at adapting, stretching, and accommodating our varied requests!
Jazz Vocalist & Trombonist
Every front-woman’s dream is to get on stage step up to a microphone and play a show knowing that their band has their back. Nick Petrillo makes this dream a reality every single time. He beautifully merges together musical artistry and professionalism both as a keyboardist and a musical director. When Nick is on the bandstand, no one has to worry And everyone is inspired. Oh yeah, and he’s funky as hell.
Music Director for “Postmodern Jukebox”
I love working with Nick. His chops and his instincts are spot on. He know exactly how to fit into every song and every situation. And when he has taken over for me, the process is flawless and right on point. Nick is not only a fantastic player and music director, but a kind and caring man that everyone enjoys working with.
Vocalist & Head Vocal Coach, “American Idol”
There’s a reason I have hired Nick again and again and AGAIN! He brings his ENTIRE self to the rehearsal process. Whether he is working with an A list celebrity or a singer who is just starting out, he treats everyone with the same amount of respect and professionalism. What can I say, I adore the guy!
