Don Breithaupt Biography

Don Breithaupt is one of the most popular and richest Pianist who was born on April 8, 1961 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.

Breithaupt was raised in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (then a western suburb of Toronto) in a musical household. His father was a jazz piano enthusiast, and his mother was an accomplished classical soprano and choir director, so music was heard regularly in the home. His parents took him and his two younger brothers, who were also musically inclined, to concerts and bought them records. Breithaupt started taking piano lessons at a young age, but he discontinued the lessons at age eight. He took up the piano again at age twelve, at a time when Elton John, Billy Joel, and other piano-based pop artists were becoming radio staples. He picked up this and other music by ear, eventually developing an insider’s knowledge of the work of Steely Dan, the Beatles, Chicago, and Paul Simon. He played the drums in rock bands during his high school years, but never abandoned the piano. Songwriting became his strongest interest. As an English/Film undergraduate at Queen’s University in nearby Kingston, Ontario, Breithaupt spent much of his spare time at Harrison- LeCaine Hall, practicing piano, writing songs, and teaching himself the craft of arranging. He immersed himself in jazz: the Pat Metheny Group, Weather Report, and several of the pianists he had first heard as a child: Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Dave Brubeck. In 1983, upon completion of his bachelor’s degree, Breithaupt was awarded a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music by the Frederick Harris Music Company.

Breithaupt married Rikki Rumball, a singer/songwriter, in 1988. They played together in various projects together as musicians, including Rikki Rumball’s 1996 album Strange Girl, and her 2007 album Divine Blue. For both albums, Breithaupt was producer and arranger, played keyboards, and wrote or co-wrote most of the songs. Ms. Rumball sang backup vocals on Breithaupt’s Monkey House albums Welcome to the Club, True North, and Headquarters. They have two children, Miles (b. Oct. 5 1991) and Cameron (b. Jun 21 1994). Both sons are musicians. Miles studied music at York University and Humber College; Cameron studied music at Humber College. Miles is involved in multiple projects including Freestyle Ambient Project, Blutonic Choir, Babygirl, and Do Tell. Cameron co-founded the indie pop band Babygirl with his songwriting partner Kirsten Clark. Don and Rikki divorced in 2007. In 2015, Breithaupt married Maureen Dessureault, who is a schoolteacher.
