CARLO MUSCAT
CARLO MUSCAT
With eight albums as a leader, Carlo has developed a distinctive voice in contemporary jazz and improvised music, shaped by continuous melodic exploration, bold structural shifts and international collaboration. His album Hymns received a four-star review from DownBeat Magazine and was included in the magazine's Best Albums of 2023 selection.
His latest album, That’s About It, released in May 2026 on Storeroom Music Collective, marks the current focus of his compositional work. Following performances across several countries, Carlo is now developing the project's live activity in France and Benelux with his Paris Quartet, featuring Simon Martineau on guitar, Mauro Gargano on double bass and Simon Bernier on drums.
Based in Belgium since 2008, Badass Yogi Productions (BYP) operates across Europe within the fields of jazz and improvised music.
BYP develops flexible operational, production, and artist development structures designed to support independent artists and international projects navigating the European ecosystem — particularly in France and Benelux.
Rather than functioning as a traditional booking agency or management company, BYP acts as a local operational and production partner, helping projects move from touring interest to operational reality.
Its activities combine:
project positioning and development support
local operational coordination
production and touring logistics
administrative and compliance support for international mobility
audiovisual and creative production initiatives
This modular approach allows collaborations to adapt to the specific realities of each project — whether the objective is:
developing touring activity in Europe
structuring local production capabilities
supporting artist visibility and positioning
creating audiovisual content
organizing residencies and showcases
or building sustainable long-term artistic activity within the European market.
BYP’s work is grounded in flexibility, territorial knowledge, and operational continuity, with a strong focus on supporting independent artists and creative structures within the realities of today’s jazz ecosystem.
Through BYP Records, finally Badass Yogi Productions is also a record label producing Jazz & improvised musics distributed worldwide by The Orchard.
Independent production is collaboration.
From this value, BYP is never to compromise artistic value or musicality, believing most of all integrity of its artists. What you hear on stage or in our productions is the artist's vision undiluted.
