Born Sidney Tiwan Meggett, the first born of four children from his father, and an only child from his mother in Edisto Island S.C. Pucchi has been credited for keeping the funk in music alive. He has been called James Brown, Prince, Rick James and Jimi Hendrix by his peers. “I’m all those artists rolled into one,” Pucchi says. His music reveals his real life experiences and other life-like experiences that others can relate to. A tall swarthy and comely musician he captivates audiences with with his soulful delivery of Funk, Pop and R&B Rhythms. He’s not afraid to spill his guts on stage so you can feel the power in his music. A native of Hollywood South Carolina, Pucchi had a natural affinity for music. He was raised by his grandparents on his father’s side. it was at age nine when he moved to Miami to live with his mother. At that time Pucchi began picking the guitar to “Deep Purples Smoke on the Water”
Ultimately he switched to bass as his lead instrument, simultaneously writing songs which lead to playing in local bands that played in churches local clubs and talent shows.
.. Although music is his first career choice, Pucchi attended Miami Dade College where he studied Theatrical Arts. He earned an Associates in Science degree in Music Business Management. It was during that time he was introduced to Jerome Smith, Guitarist for local group called Oceanliners who later changed their name to KC & the Sunshine Band, during that time he assembled his band which Jerome named the “Theme Band”. They later played at many local and exclusive clubs which lead to being a back-up band for singing groups “The Sensations” and The Crosswinds” Pucchi and his Theme Band also worked and perfomed as a backup band for local recording artist David Hudson, Timmy Thomas and Herman Kelly and Life.
He started WORLDBOUND Music Enterprise, a publishing company that publishes Hip Hop and R&B music. He acquire a Studio with demo and pre-production facilities.
Being a perfectionist, pucchi is quoted as saying “I really do beleive in giving my all towards my music endeavors.” His hard work and commitment really excited several hardening professionals in the industry
“I love your style of playing and really like to be a part of your career,”says Robert”Shotgun” Johnson Drummer of KC & the Sunshine Band.
His real breakthrough came when he won a contract for best talent and became an elite member of Miami Film and Fashion board through an Atlanta based film and fashion agency. What makes Pucchi so satisfying and promises longevity is his penchant for writing fun and powerful and meaningful songs. My favorite is “Love you at the Redlight” said Joel Robinson, founder of Sugar Hill Records. Its delivering the music the people wants that matters, not the labels attached. Anyone who has witnessed his passionate delivery would agree. He is high energy and explosive,which is clearly demonstrated in his debut release titled “Comin at Ya” produced by Pucchi and long time friend producer Teddy”Guitar” Studstill. His debut CD inspires the imagination, and fires of the enthusiasm of all who listens. Remember the name “PUCCHI”…..
His Music is a Force to be reckoned with!!!
