I contacted Davide to create solo guitar arrangements for two of my songs, and it was fantastic. He was very kind and professional, and he perfectly understood the essence of the pieces. Highly recommended, I will definitely reach out to him for future projects!

we had little time and Davide was perfect, both as a professional and as a person. We didn't just need a performer, but someone to help create the song and he did it. The communication between Davide and the producer during the session was excellent to achieve excellent results in the very short time available to us. we will work together again

I am a songwriter (“paolozeta”) and I have called Davide Pepi to collaborate for my new song. He is an eclectic and talented guitarist: in a couple of hours he was able to play every part of my song. I am very satisfied and I strongly recommend him.

Davide Pepi is a guitarist with excellent technical expertise, a rare touch and great artistic sensitivity!! He is an expert in a variety of genres, has great experience in the recording studio environment and plays both acoustic and electric guitar very well! He often worked with me in long recording sessions as a studio musician and all of the clients were fully satisfied with his work! I strongly recommend him!!
by WID
Davide Pepi is a true guitar talent for his wide variety of techniques and his own different playing styles and gifts.
Davide is able to stroll just on everything: clean intros, pounding riffs, suggestive rhythms and powerful and evocative solos.
For its technical characteristics we have called Davide to collaborate with us in the preparation of our latest album: On The Road Of Babylon.
Certainly he is the ideal collaborator for WID, especially in regard to mastery of his instrument and ability to control it, for his appealing fast and aggressive yet fluid touch.
