Simone Giufrè

Born in 2002, always attracted by the 80s, I bring to my music that baggage of sounds and sensibilities that, in my opinion, has defined modern music. Despite this, what I am looking for really is telling stories. I also love today's music very much, but I find the writing and writing phase fascinating. production of the past: with calm and analog instruments. In the end I don't really know what I am. Maybe just someone who tells stories. I was born in Taranto, where I lived my first 19 years and where I realized, to be a artist. I started with classical guitar when I was 9 years old, I played with several bands and I fell in love with the feeling of being able to tell something, even if only with four chords. I use my surname because this project is deeply personal and my songs tell my life. GIUFFRÈ my "wrong" surname: everyone They call it that and this thing has always made me made me smile, also because my real surname comes from an error in the registry of a century ago. In 2021 I moved to Rome. In that immense city I saw the opportunity to give voice to my greatest need: to tell my story. I studied directing, but I soon realized that music would never really leave me. During the academy I started, almost for fun, to compose soundtracks for my classmates' short films. Then that game became a profession. In 2024 I met Antonio Arcieri, a Roman musician, composer and producer with much more experience of my. He immediately embraced my artistic ideas and helped me transform them into something concrete. I learned a lot with him: from writing to production, from recording to distribution. She was one of the most important people I met in my journey, the first to really believe in me and push me to give everything. A deep collaboration was born with Antonio, not only artistic but also human and professional. Today I work between music and audiovisual, but I continue to write songs because, after all, I can't exist without telling myself. My influences range from the great Italian masters such as Battisti, Dalla and De André to new singer-songwriters such as Cremonini, Frah Quintale, Venerus Marco Castello and Andrea Lazlo De Simone. I don't identify myself in a specific genre: I choose the form that best suits the story I want to tell, moving between pop, songwriting and indie rock.
