Play Music - Enjoy Life

Rick DePiro fell in love with music when he first decided to play the organ at the young age of 10, getting his first official gig just a few years later playing the electric piano in his community church and started to tour at the age of 20 as a keyboard player, pianist, organist and singer-songwriter. Playing in venues like the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl and the White House top some of Rick’s favorite memories as his time as a gigging musician. Working both with Technics and Roland, Rick has a passion for the products that he has passed along to all those he has encountered while giving clinics, performing and demonstrating new products to audiences over the years. Rick credits his experiences in music, especially those with Roland, as the inspiration for the beginnings of his music wellness charity efforts, Play Music - Enjoy Life.
