Giuseppe Costanzo

Guitarist | Rock, Blues & Funky From the rhythm of house music to the precision of modern rock, my musical journey is a constant evolution driven by curiosity and versatility. My story with the six-string begins "late" but with intensity, passing through the consoles of the Aversa countryside (CE) where, as a DJ, I learned to breathe the groove of house music. The transition to the guitar took place under the guidance of some masters. • Foundations: study of Rock/Blues with Maestro Giuseppe Aversano. • Specialization: Modern guitar masterclass with Maestro Luca Colombo (G. Donizetti Conservatory of Bergamo). • Theory and Harmony: a year of intensive study with Maestro Gianni De Chellis, exploring Funky/Rock contaminations. • Musical Theory and Harmony: from July 2026 with Maestro Galimberti Giorgio. I was Co-founder of Nemesis with Antonio Russo (vocals) and Rosario Costanzo (bass) and arranger of some original songs and, with one of these, "Tutto in un sorso", the band won the Virgin Radio national contest. During the lockdown of 2020, I explored instrumental composition together with Francesco Cavallotti, giving life to "Per te", a song that synthesizes my melodic and expressive research. Since 2019 I have played in several hard rock bands from Bergamo, consolidating an energetic and solid sound. I am currently the guitarist of Pop Express (from 2025), a cover band in the rock/dance sector, which celebrates the female icons of international music from the 90s to today. The PopExpress line-up is made up of Lucatelli Martina on vocals, Carminati Michele on bass and Zappella Daniele on drums. My sound is based on a transversal mix of pop/rock and dance energy, designed to transform every live show into an immersive and engaging experience. In live performances I mainly use a Fender Stratocaster, with Ernie Ball 10 46 strings, on a DV Mark Little 40 amplifier.
