Dario mennella
PERCUSSIONIST - COMPOSER

He started to learn piano at the age of ten, and he continued his musical path studying drums and achieving a degree in classical percussions.

Salvatore schiano
GUITARIST - COMPOSER
Salvatore received his first guitar when he was twelve years old from a very special person. In that moment, it dawned on him that music could have been the core of his life.
He studied under some of the greatest soloists in Italy; among them, Giovanni Petrazzuolo and Antonio De Innocentis were the most influential to shape up his musicality. His artistic curiosity led him to study composition as well. In particular, Salvatore specialised in Composition for Screen at the Royal College of Music of London, city where he currently lives.
In recent years, he has combined the activities of Performer, Composer, Producer and Collaborator. From small chamber groups to solo guitar pieces, from computer-aided to a full symphonic orchestra, his creativity resonated throughout different environments.
