Carl Petrillo

Carl bounced around growing up, living in New Jersey, The Netherlands, and Georgia (as in Atlanta, not Tbilisi) before heading out to LA. He played and worked as a singer, pianist, arranger, and music director and ultimately graduated from USC with a BA in English (cue music, musical theatre nerds). He spent a year leading a piano trio on Holland America ships around the world before arriving in Seattle. One day Carl wandered into an Improv Dojo class Mike Christensen was leading. When Mike asked if anybody played keyboard, Carl raised his hand and is now ecstatic to have joined the Wing-It musician roster.
