BIO

From Barcelona, Ferran Rico is a bassist, arranger, and music producer based in New York City. He began his musical path at the age of six, and remained self-taught until entering the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu, where he received Scholarships for Musical Excellence and the Extraordinary Prize (2018–2022). During this time, he started a still ongoing mentorship by five-time Grammy Award–winning bassist and bandleader Michael League.

Ferran went on to graduate from Berklee College of Music in 2025 on full-ride scholarships, studying jazz performance, production, and songwriting with renowned faculty like John Patitucci, Victor Wooten, Matt Stevens, Linda May Han Oh, Gary Willis, Lincoln Goines, Tia Fuller or Alain Mallet. He has toured across Europe and the US, and is now active as an international freelance bassist: performing on electric, upright, fretless, and synth bass, as well as in arranging and production.

Ferran is currently playing with Tiger Okoshi (Jack DeJohnette, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter…), Philip Lassiter (Prince), amongst many other artists; and with his original music (works as a solo artist: Once Bitten, Face West to Go Round), which features multiple releases of his e-jazz trio KIW (Cosmosis Vol.1&2, It’s not about me).
