Music Composition and Ear Training tutor

About Daniele

I’m a Los Angeles based film composer, entrepreneur, and guitarist born and raised in Rome, Italy.

I’ve started my music journey studying guitar at the age of 7, performing my first live show at the age of 10 together with my two brothers. Before falling in love with the film scoring world, jazz music was my biggest passion, which has served as a key element for my American journey to begin. I've taught music since I was 16 years old.

I’ve recently orchestrated Dennis Smith and Marco Beltrami’s score for the movie “Extremely Wicked Shockingly Evil and Vile” which premiered at Sundance 2019, was afterward bought by Netflix and was showcased in theaters worldwide.

As a composer, arranger, orchestrator, and producer I’ve been collaborating with a number of mainstream films and television scores including Pretty Little Liars – The perfectionists (Freeform), Beautiful in Love (Warner Bros), Six (History Channel), Ghosts of War (Miscellaneous Entertainment), Roswell (The CW), God Friended Me (CBS), Hidden Man (Warner Bros), The Snowpiercer (TNT), Legacies (The CW). The London based short film “The Essence of Everything”, winner of 20+ awards earned me the “Best Soundtrack Award” during the Valle D’Itria Film Festiva 2019.

A truly changing life and musical experience happened during my teenage years becoming the chosen mentee of Senegalese guitarist/composer Peace Diouf which, through a very intense training lasted several years, offered me an open-minded understanding of world-music.

I’ve studied classical composition and guitar at the Italian Conservatory, and Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston with a minor in Africana Studies.
