A rigorous musician and careful researcher, Berto has studied and performed in Spain and the United States, with some of the world's finest Flamenco and Jazz artists. Born into a family of artists, which includes famed lead singer Brandon Boyd of the multi-platinum band Incubus, he is one of the rare and few Americans who has dedicated his musical dreams to mastering the art of Flamenco and the Spanish Classical guitar.
Randy Tico has gained a solid reputation as an inventive and versatile bassist, working with Jeff Bridges & the Abiders, Flora Purim and Airto, Matrix, Strunz and Farah, John McEuen, Kenny Loggins, Joe Farrell, Scott Cossu and many others. Simultaneously, Tico has also extended his talents into the areas of composing for film – "Steal Big, Steal Little" directed by Andrew Davis (the Fugitive), "The Housekeeper" and "Joe's Gyro Palace" for the FX Network's Independent Film Series, episodes for the syndicated TV series "Freddy's Nightmares" – as well as original scores for theater, studio work and realizing his own ambitious multi-media pieces. Diverse as these projects might seem, it all relates to Tico's expansive musical overview and an adaptability to various creative assignments.
