Todd Fulginiti Music

The thing I enjoy most about making music is that there are so many styles & genres to play with, and each one is like a world unto itself.  So instead of just focusing on one style, I pursued as many as I could, and created a different band/ensemble to highlight each one.  That's why there are so many groups featured on our Music page- each has it's own function, and each gives me an opportunity to perform the music I love.  Besides performing as leader, I also thrive as a freelance trumpet player, arranger, composer, and musical contractor.

Originally a trumpet player, I now perform on trumpet, percussion/cajon, vocals, ukelele and occasional others.  

I believe that sustainable living is one of the most important issues our world faces today.  I am currently working to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible in all aspects of my music and business practices.  Additionally, each month I donate 5% of my adjusted income to a non-profit working to fight climate change, protect or clean-up the environment or make the world a better place in some way.  

Each year, our Fulginiti Family Band performs and releases a holiday single to raise funds for a local charity.  To date, we have raised about $6,000 for several different organizations.
