DANIELE MARCHETTI

Daniele Marchetti.

Born in 1966, half from Milan and half from Rome (as he likes to call himself), he lived his childhood in a musical environment thanks to a classical pianist mother and a father, jazz lover and collector of records rarities in Ragtime, Dixie and New Orleans.

When he was eight years old, he started taking piano lessons. Over time he formed himself into a skilled pianist, learning to read and write by his hand on a stave.

When he was 13, her cousin gave him an old guitar. A love at first sight is born with this instrument, that immediately appears to him much more versatile and magnetic than the piano.

With various guides, masters and experiences, he quickly learns to juggle the strings, becoming very fond of the guitar without ever leaving the piano and, with artistic maturity, growing more and more the passion for both.

Over time he earn the title of multi-instrumentalist, also taking electric bass guitar lessons and playing in musicals orchestra.

He also enriches his skills as an arranger, composing and recording advertising jingles for some radio stations.

In 2012 he resumed collaborating with some musical groups, becoming more active as a professional musician.

There are plenty of opportunities and at the beginning of 2013 he met guitarist Dario Arena who involved him in the project of Silversnake Michelle’s first album.

He then collaborates actively with Dario on arrangements, recording piano, keyboards and some guitar parts for "So in my mind..." and starting a strong artistic partnership with Michelle. Meanwhile he became keyboardist for Scary Monsters Ltd (David Bowie & Friends Tribute Band).

2014 arrives and with it the first live performances together with Silversnake Michelle, culminating with the fantastic opportunity to play live in an overseas TV show in Cape Cod, near Boston (USA). He organizes with her this American mini tour using very good local musicians and proposing in the USA all the first album’s work with great success. In the meantime he carries on the arrangements of Silversnake's new compositions and with them the development of a future new album.

With 2015, the artistic collaboration with Michelle is more and more outlined.

In 2016, the album HER SNAKENESS, was released, on which he arranges tracks together with Michelle.

He worked with her on later projects as a musician, recording piano, guitars and bass.

In 2019 Michelle came up with the idea of starting her own factory, SNAKE MACHINE , and involved him in this project.
