My name is Michele Vanni and I was born in Bologna, Italy in 1961. I started playng guitar at 10 and a couple years later I was playng bass with a band. I soon developed an interest in keyboards and drums and became proficient on both. In 1977 I switched to guitar as my main instrument and begun experimenting with home recording. In the early 80's I started working as a sound engineer in small to mid sized studios and produced quite a few demos for local bands (including mine). I worked in the Jingle/Commercial industry from 1990 to 2001 both in my home town and in Milan and I wrote, arranged and performed more than 500 jingles including works for Radio Rai (Italian National Radio) and major radio networks (Radio Monte Carlo, Radio 105). From 1996 to 2004 I also toured and did studio work with Luca Carboni, one of the most successful Italian singer-songwriter, playing guitars, keyboards and doing computer programming. I recently begun to work again with producer extraordinaire Celso Valli and played guitar on a few very successful albums by some of the biggest artists in Italy like Gianni Morandi, Adriano Celentano and Laura Pausini:the spanish version of her latest cd Escucha just won a Grammy as Best Latin Album. I worked briefly in the Dance industry and did a small tour of Japan as a singer in 1995. In the early nineties I toured and recorded with Clara and the Black Cars, a rock band produced by Guido Elmi (Vasco Rossi) but unfortunately their third album (that I contributed a lot to) was never released. Leds, Crudelia, Intensive Care, Crying Steel were some of the local bands bands I was in in the last 30 years. I also recorded and performed live (guitars and lead vocals) with Domino, a Genesis tribute band that has received worldwide praise and  released their first live DVD in 2005 (I also edited, produced and engineered the whole thing). In 2006 I started playing the flute and begun producing a growing catalog of License music that's selling well on the internet and more Jingles. In 2009 I played guitars and bass on 5 tracks of Clara Moroni's new solo album (Vasco Rossi's backing vocalist): they were new arrangements of tracks we wrote together back in the 90s. I also got my music and classical guitar playing on a couple of American indie movies soundtracks ( 'Chamaco' and 'The Scarf') and placed tracks on Mtv, Nbc and on Web based sitcoms and in 2011 I 'recreated' about 70 Beatles tracks for an Italian/English language course on DVD (Music for my English). I obviously have a personal digital studio and mostly work with ProTools, loads of virtual instruments, lots of guitars and a Roland TD6 drum kit that allows me to play very realistic drum tracks.
