About Bill Champitto
Bill Champitto. Soul Funkified Jazz. Bill is a singer, songwriter pianist and Hammond B3 organist from Boston, MA, USA whose music was aptly defined by an ardent web fan as “Soul, Funkifed Jazz.”
Originally from Troy, New York, Bill started playing keyboards by ear at age 15 when two of his closest friends received a drum set and a guitar for Christmas gifts.
“My friends started to woodshed in their pool house and when I went over to check it out, I was immediately hooked! I had to be part of this!”
“One of these guys suggested I play bass, so we found a ‘gently used’ bass for $5.00 and suddenly, we had a trio.” But after a couple of weeks the group found someone who ‘could actually PLAY bass’ so Bill had to give up his gig. That's when Bill found a tabletop organ (or perhaps it found him) and a quartet was formed.
Bill devoured everything by ear--taping tons of music and woodshedding until he got it right. He even convinced the pastor of the local St. Jude Catholic Church to allow him to practice on the church's big Hammond B3.
“The nuns would chase me away, but the pastor was cool with it. I’d learn Santana solos on this organ and rock out the otherwise tranquil church,”

Hello.
I hope you're doing well and thank you for all your support. It might have had something to do with the news that four of my songs are selected for "major" rotation on Outbound Music's Gravity Radio (link)
They've added Bounce, The Keys are Talkin', Living Tree and Strange Place into rotation, all songs that you can find here on N1M, but I do hope you check into their station and show a little support there. If you like their programming you can find free apps at
iTunes

As always, thanks again for all the love and support, and have an amazing day!
Be well,
Bill C
I just uploaded two new songs
I hope you’re doing great. I just finished two songs in the studio and have posted them to my N1M account. I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts. They are available for download at link
The first song is “Love Today” (The World Needs Your Love Today): I began writing this song when a good friend lost their spouse in a freak accident. I couldn't finish it at the time. But recent events around Boston keep impacting people's lives in much the same way. The world definitely needs your love today.
The second song is “Sunset”: For me, it is a real celebration of love, and of course Sunsets which are an important daily meditation for me and Michelle. Of course it doesn't hurt that we have an incredible sunset view from our home.
Thanks for your time and if you get a chance let me know your thoughts about the new music. More to come!
Be well.
