Tito Pascoal
Embora aprecie vários estilos de música, Tito Pascoal tem preferência pelo jazz, fusion e funk mas é no jazz que tem podido mostrar as suas capacidades de baterista através de espectáculos e recentemente com o lançamento do seu primeiro cd "Walk the walk" onde é acompanhado por músicos de renome desta vertente musical.
Nascido em Portugal, em 1994, Tito Pascoal parte para Boston, com quatro anos de idade, na companhia dos pais, Tim e Cristina Pascoal.. Fascinado pela bateria, recebe uma de presente no seu aniversário e com seis anos começa a tocar este instrumento. Com uma família de músicos Tito teve e continua a ter, sempre, todo o apoio neste campo. É um estudioso da matéria mas não deixa de ser uma criança que tem tempo para tudo porque apesar de superdotado não deixa de fazer uma vida normal para a sua idade.
Hoje, com residência em Saint Louis, no Missouri, nos Estados Unidos da América, a mãe, a Chris, para além de se ocupar do booking (marcação) dos espectáculos ainda se ocupa da educação dos dois filhos. O Tito e a Raquel, a voz, que também, juntamente com o pai, Tim, o pianista, integra o grupo de jazz que o pequeno Tito comanda.

Press Review:"He is jamming...the young man's entire body - head, shoulders, legs - grooves to the beat."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
At First glance, St Louis most recent gift to America's art form pales in stature to what audiences are accustomed to seeing on the bandstand. But open your mind, eyes and ears (not necessarily in that order). At twelve years of age, the diminutive frame of Tito Pascoal will, indeed, surprise you. While he may not have a list of musical accomplishments yet, Tito is equally deserving of the audience's attention.
"What excited me the most is that he didn't try to overplay. That's a sign of maturity," said Tom Kennedy. The veteran bassist performs with industry icons Dave Weckl and Bob "Yellowjackets" Mintzer on " Walk the Walk," Tito's newly released freshman CD on the TProductions label.
It's obvious from Tito's vocabulary that he has a lot of influences. For instance, Jimmy Cobb, Buddy Rich, Art Blakey, Tony Williams and Vinny Colaiuta," Tito says with excitement. When he performs, you immediately hear the culmination of numerous styles. He swings with the spirit of a seasoned master, but with a fresh, youthful fire. Both his swing and fire add a great deal of power and strength to his playing.
With the attack of a 20-30 year old, Tito is one of the most exciting live drum performances to watch anywhere. Even with the drop of a stick at one recent show, this tiny tyke did not miss a beat. Tito dazzles you as he continues to play with a confident groove to the rhythm.
Perhaps it comes as no surprise that while the little drummer boy is dwarfed by the size of his drum kit, he is a giant talent. Already quite accomplished for one so young. Tito has liked his first professional endorsement with Vic Firth Drum Sticks. He is establishing a strong fan base of his own on MySpace, has performed as a headliner at Clayton's posh club, Finale Music + Dining and plans a two week European tour this spring.
"Kids like him are the future of what we do," said Tom Kennedy. Tito achieves a musical maturity beyond his years with a talent fueled by inner drive and opportunity. Perhaps that is why he has captured the attention of his peers and adults twice his age on the national music scene.
