Bugatti started studying music at the age of 5 and attended the prestigious High School of Performing Arts in New York, followed by the highly competitive Julliard College where he honed his skills as a classical pianist, a complex gift which until today deepens his interpretation of jazz music.

Bugatti performed for seven years at the famous Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, from the Grand opening in 1991 to 1998. Meeting and playing for countless guests, celebrities and dignitaries, it was there, that George first met Steve Allen.

In 1998, Steve Wynn another Peninsula guest and Bugatti fan, invited Bugatti along with Michael Feinstein and John Pizzerelli, to open Wynn's Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas.
