Sergio Ercole

Latin/classical guitarist Sergio Ercole was born in Florence and moved to Melbourne in 1980.

“Music is another language I’ve learnt, just like English – a language I understand, like to speak and continue to learn about,” Sergio says.

Sergio completed a Masters of Music at Melbourne University – studying under John Griffiths and taking masterclasses with world-renowned guitarist John Williams before taking further study in Italy with Oscar Ghiglia and Alirio Diaz.

Sergio’s talents are well respected within the music industry with performers including The Cat Empire, and Hollywood film writer and musician, Tim Davies, regularly inviting Sergio to collaborate with them on their albums and on stage. Sergio was also asked to compose and perform the title track for Frank Lotito’s romantic comedy ‘Big Mamma’s Boy’.

Sergio is Head of Guitar at Haileybury College and regularly collaborates with artists such as the Grigoryan Brothers and Italian guitarist Massimo Scattolin.
