Biography:
Inner Gypsy is the love-child of a guitar player and a flute player, who found each other in New York City, and who are linked as much by their love of every kind of music, as their love for each other's ideas and world-view.

Tiffany was a small town upstate NY girl with a great big wandering heart. She always knew that the only thing she ever wanted to do was to play her flute and travel the world. She studied music theory at the University of North Carolina in Asheville – including a course with synthesizer inventor and guru, Robert Moog whom, because of his creativity and openness to new ideas, she remembers with great affection.
But somehow she got distracted from her love of music, and found herself working as an executive in the world of high fashion in New York City. Traveling the world, yes – but for business. Seeing the diversity of the arts and culture this planet has to offer – but unable to contribute because of the stifling limitations of corporate culture.

Mario was a little Indian boy who was named after a famous Italian tenor. It was a different age, it was another world. As a child he moved from India, to London just as that city was dawning from out of a grey and dismal post war conventionality, into a place that “swings like a pendulum do.” It was an explosion of color and fashion and style and music where anything, and everything… goes! As a child he helped his father invent an instrument which they called the Sitar-Guitar. It was inspired by the merging of eastern and western music so prominent at the time.
But eventually he too ended up in New York City. Involved in music from all over the world, he had honed his performance chops with rock bands, jazz and world-fusion bands, with reggae bands and even for while with Chubby Checker's Rock'n'Roll Review. But then suddenly, he found himself trapped, through the vicissitudes of economics, back in his day job: a designer in (what else) the fashion industry.

But just when all hope seemed lost, it was New York City where these two soulmates met in early 2004.
The band, Inner Gypsy, is the two of them at its core, sometimes supported by other gypsies – percussionist, violinist, upright bass, accordion. However they are quite capable of putting on a high energy performance without any help, thank you!
In the past two years they have performed extensively throughout the usual Manhattan club scene, as well as lesser know venues in New Jersey where they now reside as husband and wife.
They have just completed their debut album, Gypsychology, a collection of eight original songs which span a diverse and international set of styles, and yet still retain a pop music accessibility, and one unpredictable cover, the old Sonny & Cher classic, "I Got You Babe."

INNER GYPSY creates beautiful original music consisting of flowing melodies, soulful lyrics, intricate harmonies and fiery flamenco riffs supported by groove-oriented rhythms. Their world beat sound is a wonderful one-of-a-kind musical treat.
