Zingg was born in Lugano Switzerland to a musical family. Before he started school, he had learned to play the piano and was inspired by the work of American blues pianists.
He gave his first overseas solo concert at 18 years of age. He was the youngest pianist and only European at the Masters of Blues & Boogie Woogie Piano Night in Charleston, South Carolina, with Jimmy Walker, and Skeeter Brandon. He has performed in other American venues, including the Cincinnati, Detroit, Newport Festivals. In November 2005, he performed with Chuck Berry in a sold out concert in Zurich. In 2011, Zingg was invited by festival promoter Claude Nobs to perform with B.B. King at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Silvan Zingg has been producing his own piano festivals: "International Boogie Woogie Festival" in Lugano since 2002 and the "Piano Jazz auf zwei Flügeln" festival in Basel since 2010.
In 2013 Silvan Zingg wins the 'German Pinetop Award' as Boogie Woogie Entertainer of the year.[1]
He has performed in more than 2,000 concerts in over 40 countries.
