Vinnie Colaiuta

Colaiuta's talents were obvious from an early age. After Attending the Berklee School of Music, he worked with Frank Zappa (1978) and then performed with Joni Mitchell for several years. 

Vinnie settled in Los Angeles in 1983 and worked for seven years as a very busy studio musician. 

In 1990 he went back on the road with Sting and in 1994 had his first record date as a leader, the self-titled Vinnie Colaiuta on the Stretch label.
