Italian composer, keyboardist, producer and sometime vocalist Beppe CROVELLA was born in 1952, and started getting involved in the music scene while in his teens.
He joined Italian band Arti & Mestieri in 1975, and is currently in his fourth decade as a band member and composer of this outfit.
As many dedicated musicians tends to do, Crovella has covered more ground than merely being a band member and composer. He's been an active participant in the Turin jazzrock scene, he has set up the recording studio Electromantic Synergy and record label (Electromantic Music). The latter with more than 100 productions from more than 30 artists released so far in it's history. Crovella has also set up his own publishing company.
And while all of this should be more than enough to occupy the time of even a hardened workaholic, he has managed to find the time for a few more endeavours throughout his career as well. He participated on Italian band The Sick Rose' 1991 effort Floating, and contributed and participated on several standalone projects in the 90's: ROMANTIC WARRIORS Battlefield and CHIRICO CAMARCA PROJECT's Transamazzonica in 1993, SECRET CINEMA's Dreamin' of My Past and TOWER's Tales from a Book of Yestermorrow in 1994, MOSAIC's Miniatures in 1995.
Furthermore, a handful of solo albums have been released over the years. The Hammond celebration Kings of Clubs saw the light of day in 1992. In 1998 he brought in Daryl Smith in the collaboration Earth Voices, while Crovella's love of the Hammond was showcased again on 1998's Hammond Homage 1: Lucio Battisti and 2009's Soulful Traffic. Two additional solo efforts surfaced in what appears to have been a rather active 2009: The Mike Rutledge hommage album What's Rattlin' On The Moon? and the piano celebration Pianovagando.
And while all of the above is a list of accomplishments of almost breathtaking proportions, additional musical contributions to Italian television and movies are further additions to the accomplishments of a man still a few years shy of the 60 year mark, whose impact on the Italian music scene might already be described as legendary.
