Emanuele Marchetti is an Italian drummer/musician, percussionist, cajon player and DJ.
Born in Ancona (Italy) on January the 26th 1981, Emanuele grew up in a family of artists; his father Doriano is a flute and saxophone player, professional musician, teacher, orchestra director and composer and his mother Elisabetta is a singer.

His parents gave him the musical education and inspiration since he was a kid: from his father he has received the instrument education whereas his mother passed down to him her passion on listening to records and music from the 70’s and 80’s.

He started his studies on violin and piano at the age of 6 by studying at the private music conservatory and getting a degree on music theory and solfeggio.

After he left his studies as he realized that violin wasn’t his true instrument and his true path, in the meanwhile he has discovered a passion for a different kind of art: the b-boying or break dance.

Dancing started for him 1999 and for the next sixteen years he has followed the way of the dance and performances, being also an event organizer of international breakdance competitions for 4 consecutive years and a dance teacher and choreographer in dance schools for 5 years.

On 2005, he has joined the Italian renowned b-boy crew “STYLIN’ FORCE” which is an actual active member for more than 10 years.

In 2007, moved by the passion for b-boying and hip hop culture, he has approached the art of DJing by getting his first pair of turntables and going at the research of the music through the vinyl digging; along with his b-boy and dance teacher activity, he’s going to and has been an official DJ for many national and international breakdance competitions.

Through “BREAK” DJing (based on the research of drums and percussion grooves) he always has been influenced by rhythms on his both dance style and djing style; thanks to these inspirations he has decided to resume his musical studies and approach finally to his instrument: the drums.

As a self-taught first and then followed by his Italian drums teacher Andrea Morandi, well renowned session drummer and musician resident on his hometown, he starts his activity and his way as a drummer studying Jazz, Rudiments and different musical styles motivated by his teacher, and performing and jamming with function bands in venues and clubs on his region.

Being a session drummer he recorded and arranged for his fathers songs, working along with a bunch of professional musicians.

After received a news about a successful audition to study at the Institute of
Contemporary Music and Performance based in London, he has decided to move there to improve his drummer career.

Under the guidance of the legendary drums teacher Gabor Dornyei, an International renowned clinician and great session drummer, he’s actually resident in London and he’s working and playing as a session drummer with artists and within different band contexts.
