MANUEL MONTESANTI

Manuele Montesanti started his musical adventure back in 1985, when his parents gave him a toy piano.
He thus began to cultivate a great passion for music, which led him to classical studies at the prestigious Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome. All of this until he arrived at his true love: synthesizers.

He then specialized in Jazz/Contemporary Piano, Harmony, Comping, Composition and Arrangement at the UM "University of Music in Rome."

Today, his musical activity is divided into that of a session man (live & studio) and that of an arranger, sound designer, and demonstrator for both musical productions (soundtracks, video games, apps, etc.) and for the development and promotion of musical software and hardware with Yamaha Synth, Native Instruments, Novation, Ik Multimedia, Audiothing etc…

"In addition, he is a teacher and founder of the portal lezionipianoforte.net, as well as the keyboardist and founder of the band "Drift Lab" with Matteo Mancuso, Federico Malaman, and Daniele Chiantese."
