Born and raised in Haddon Heights NJ, Ribeiro got serious about music at the age of 16 when he learned to play the guitar. Inspired by the sounds of Frank Zappa and Pearl Jam, he enrolled as a jazz guitar performance major at Camden County College in New Jersey. There he worked hard on his playing technique, transcribing, and arranging. After two years of study, he continued his education at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia to study music composition. As his works improved and got bigger, the idea of releasing an orchestral CD seemed unrealistic.

"I began writing the score in March 2005, completed by April 2006, and then had a product with no one to perform it. When the idea of using samples occured to me, I was unsure but excited." With this, Ribeiro invested endless amounts of time to understand and learn MIDI orchestration and production, so he could turn his music into a sound recording.

Finally on Oct. 4, 2006, Ribeiro's CD 'I.I' was debuted, and in such a short time has already created an incredible buzz in the greater Philadelphia area. Over the years Walt has taught over a hundred students - everything from orchestration and ear training to guitar and recording techniques. "You don't know something well enough unless you can teach it to somebody, and that's where I learned things the most, was through my students."
