Four words: DIVERSE AND DIFFERENT SOUNDS.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist musician, singer-songwriter and producer.
My main services are producing, songwriting, and arrangement.
I'm 21, a young lad basically, but I've been playing music, and ultimately WRITING music for nearly all my life, with 15 years of studying and experience with piano, keyboards, arrangement and songwriting (since 2005), and 8 yrs experience with music production (since late 2011).
The genres I'm able to work with are mainly:
- modern rock (i.e. from the 90's on);
- modern pop
- modern hip hop;
- trap;
- electronic music
and of course all of these main styles' subgenres.
The track uploaded in the 'samples' section is a trap/electropop/dubstep crossover track.
I also offer custom, personalized samples on the style you'd like FOR FREE, as a sample of how I could work it out for you, contact me for more infos.

Interview with Claudio Conte
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I like that music deals with emotions, with feelings. I find it quite a more "noble" and passionate art than working in an office... I would really never imagine myself doing something like that haha
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: ABSOLUTELY BOTH. Each of the two has its own strong points, and by combining the two one can create something truly strong and beautiful.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll leave you absolute satisfied and happy with your song!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: A crazy, extravagant maybe different one?
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Just try to be original. Nowadays music is a bit full of producers, music makers and everything, but what I think will always win on the final product, is the freshness and originality of the song.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Surely production, writing and arrangement, but I think I'm quite good at the other things I offer as well :)
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I like to think that I bring songs some "freshness" and "uniqueness", that modern and different touch & feel that not many can say they do.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I would usually try to think about some chord progressions that could fit with the lyrical stile and ideas of the client who's contacting me. Then I would try and figure out and experiment with some synth sounds and riffs or some drum patterns (which I program myself, I never ever use samples or loops). If I "only" have to make an arrangement, I would follow the same idea of following the original thoughts of the client - of course without the phase of writing - but instead of just following the feelings or lyrical topics, I would try to serve the vocals at the very best as I could.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm pretty inspired by acts and bands such as Queen, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Muse, Royal Blood, Queens Of The Stone Age, Twenty One Pilots, Jess Glynne, etc.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I'd say with absolutely no doubt that people think an artist can't be a professional, and can't do music for a living. Like when someone asks what's your job, you say "I play music", and they respond you with something like "no, seriously, what do you do for an actual living?", you know?
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What kind of feeling they want with the song/beat/arrangement, how soon they need it, what they think they will do with it at the end of the process, etc.
