Marcello Giuliani

Irresistible sound poet

Swiss music prize 2018

Marcello Giuliani was born in Avezzano in 1967. He is an influential bassist and producer with a particularly acute ear. Equally at home in jazz fusion and pop, he was a founder member of the Eric Truffaz Quartet, helping to shape its style, and has also performed with a host of famous names such as Françoise Hardy, Henri Salvador and Jane Birkin. His infallible instinct for quality is similarly in evidence as a producer of promising Swiss talent, from The Young Gods to Sophie Hunger, Faber and more. This versatile musician’s sphere of influence extends far beyond the borders of Switzerland.
