Los Angeles & Worldwide
A Couple of Keys
Dueling Pianos, Elevated.
Nico Jones & Carmen Thomassiny are a high-energy piano and vocal duo for corporate events, weddings, private parties, resorts, casinos, and premium venues, equally at home behind an elegant dinner set or in front of a roaring singalong.
A complete live entertainment package.
Dueling Pianos
Two pianos played face to face, with both of us leading the room.
Vocals
Two lead vocalists, singing lead and harmony throughout the show.
A Vast, Diverse Setlist
Hundreds of songs spanning the ’50s to today, across pop, rock, soul, funk, jazz, Motown, and standards.
Custom Setlists
Tailored setlists and specific song selections can be arranged in advance, available as an add-on.
Conservatory-level musicianship
Both of us trained at USC’s Thornton School of Music, Nico in jazz piano and Carmen in pop piano. Carmen is also a Jazz at Lincoln Center honoree and a Songwriters Hall of Fame scholar. The playing holds up in any room, and in front of any client.
Real chemistry, on and off stage
We’re partners in music and in life. The banter, the duets, and the back-and-forth aren’t an act, and audiences feel the difference immediately.
A proven audience draw
Over 150,000 followers and more than 42 million views across platforms. Guests often know us before we play a note, and they post about it after.
Two careers. One stage.
Nico Jones
Nico started playing piano and singing at five and never looked back. A USC Thornton jazz piano graduate, he studied under Patrice Rushen, Alan Pasqua, and Sara Gazarek, and brings a producer’s ear across hip-hop, jazz, rock, pop, and R&B to every arrangement.
Carmen Thomassiny
Carmen is a pianist, vocalist, songwriter, and arranger who studied pop piano at USC Thornton. She played Coachella 2026 with headliner Karol G, holds the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Bill Withers Scholarship, and is a two-time Outstanding Piano honoree at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington competition.
