My name's Massimo Martellotta (born in Rome, 1978) and i'm a composer, pop multi-instrumentalist and record producer/arranger based in Milan, Italy. 

 

I write music for movies, commercials, games, theatre show. I also play in the instrumental band Calibro 35.

 

I studied 10 years of private piano lessons in the early days, then i moved to guitar but i really like to play piano, vintage keys as well and drums.

 

I've produced some theme songs and jingles for the italian radio network RAI Radio2 and music for comercials: Carlsberg, Mcdonald's, Vodafone, Algida, Chupa Chups, Ministero della Difesa and i won the KeyAward as Best Ad Music with the piano solo song "Venezia" written and performed for Citroen.

Some of my compositions have been used in international and italian soundtracks like the Hollywood Blockbuster's "R.E.D." with Bruce Willis, John Snellinberg’s "La banda del brasiliano", and Michele Placido’s "Gi Angeli del Male." 

I've composed movie soundtracks like Francesco Patierno’s "Giusva", Joseph Lefèvre’s "SAID" and music for the world touring dance crew KATAKLO'

 

I'm the main composer, co-founder and guitarist/keyboardist for the Milan based band Calibro 35, a band that plays Italian soundtracks from the '60s and '70s and original compositions.
