Roberto Restuccia - Hand 2 Heart (2025)

Uk born Guitarist Roberto Restuccia had long set his sights on success in the Contemporary jazz genre, which, he says, “grabs me from every direction, mixing funk and jazz, with openings to blues it up.” realising two studio albums to date andachieving a US billboard #1 single, Roberto has definitely left his mark upon the Contemporary Jazz genre. Restuccia’s early musical background is that he’s largely self-taught, but he oftenlikes to say that he went to the “University of Slash,” first learning to play from VCRrecordings of concerts by Guns N’ Roses while the evolution of his jazz and blues sensibilities go to influential figures like Chuck Loeb, George Benson, Larry Carlton,Ronnie Jordan, Robben Ford and Jeff Golub. “My sound is consciously not a carbon copy of any one of those great players, but I draw from all of their influences to help me become the best me.”

Restuccia’s talents caught the attention of major label Trippin’ N Rhythm records in 2020 spawning two studio album releases, With Every Turn (2021) and Lounge Kats (2023) which earned his debut #1 with the Single “1979”. In summary Roberto Restuccia represents Sincerity and just out and out Soulfulness from his artistry and music that conjures deep emotions from life’s experiences. Now he will return with his new album Hand 2 Heart (2025).
