Sergi Sirvent (Barcelona, ​​1978) is a pianist, composer and improviser. At the age of six he began his classical musical studies passing through different conservatories and giving piano lessons with Mireia Puig, Emili Brugalla, Abel Castelló and Virgina Fargas, as well as studying up to fourth violin with Sara Bolaños. At the age of 17, he put classical aside and, due to his concerns regarding improvisation and composition, he delved into modern music and jazz (Música Activa, Center d'Estudis Musicals Passatge and Taller de Músics), and during these years It goes through different teachers and musicians from the scene such as Marc Vernis, Manel Camp, Joan Monné, José Reinoso and Albert Bover.

Sirvent has created multiple projects and music that he has been able to play in venues, clubs and festivals as a national and sometimes international artist. Some of these projects are: Unexpected, Sergi Sirvent Free Quartet, 9 muses, Hat, Karion, Sergi Sirvent Octopussy Cats, Intervalic Quartet, Monk Numbers, Sergi Sirvent Decoy Quartet and Sergi Sirvent Smooth Trio, among others, and since 2007 he leads Sergi Sirvent Trio, a group formed with the masters Horacio Fumero and David Xirgu. He has also worked in different duo formats with different artists such as Sílvia Pérez Cruz, Santi Careta, Xavi Maureta, Pau Domènech, Dani Álvarez, Martí Serra, Dani Domínguez or Mathilde Toussaint and has played as a sideman with Giulia Valle's quintet (Danza Imprevista), Juan Pablo Balcázar quartet (Viaje-Voyage), Martí Serra quartet (Tea Time), the trio with Ramiro Rosa & David Mengual (A Oscuras) and a collaboration with the duo formed by Jordi Gardeñas and Rai Castells.
