Piero Perelli on Clubhouse

Bio

Piero Perelli is a drummer, composer and sound explorer born in Tuscany, Italy.

Growing up in the Tuscan woods, nature was his first connection to sound at an early age, he often says that the sound of the river near his house and the trees were his first musical inspiration.

At age 19, he started touring all over Europe and USA with different bands, exposing himself to different cultures, breathing a very wide range of music. 

Piero has relentlessly pursued diverse musical contexts, from free improvisation to compositions to film scores with international artists and musicians both live and in the studio: Robin Hannibal (four-time Grammy nominated producer, Kendrick Lamar, Little Dragon), Dana Fuchs (from the movie “Across the Universe” and Broadway show “Janis”), Paul Savoy (a-ah), Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz, Beyoncé), Pet Levin (Gregg Allman Band, The Blind Boys of Alabama), Craig Dreyer (James Hunter, Joan Osborne), Bisan Toron, Simone Giuliani (Andrea Bocelli, Cibo Matto), Federico De Robertis (Gabriele Salvatores, Carlo Vanzina), Antonio Gramentieri, Lyell Roader, Seth Ford (Tom Waits, Rocco De Luca), Matteo Buzzanca, Andrea Biagioni, Niki la Rosa and many more. 

He founded the band Emma Morton & The Graces with guitarist Luca Giovacchini and Scottish singer Emma Morton in 2016. Their album “Bitten by the Devil”, a psychotropic sound cocktail fizzing with jazz, roots-rock and folk contaminations features a number of great guests and was mixed by Grammy winner engineer Gene Paul. 

“My experience on the road has allowed me to hone my musical dialect and strengthen my sound, timing and energy. I’ve lived and breathed the places where my favourite music was born and developed; I was able to really taste culture and history – I let myself be contaminated by those worlds which continue to amaze and inspire me.”

Piero Perelli is endorsed by A&F Drum, Istanbul Agop, Remo DrumsHead, Vic Firth, Big Fat Snare, Tackle Supply Co. and Stefy Line.
