Born in Cardiff, Wales, Pino Palladino picks up guitar at age 14. Playing in a local band (Trapper), Palladino soon gives up his classical guitar studies and starts playing electric. When 17 he finally switches to bass, buys himself a fretless a year later and well, the rest is history, as they say.
