Simone Sello
Simone
Sello, the mind behind MusicDemoProducer.com,
started studying the guitar and the violin
when he was about 10, and began his professional
career right afterwards. He got to play with
many international artists from Italy (his
native country), and
became the guitarist in the orchestra
of the popular Sanremo
Festival, where he played
with several remarkable musicians, such as George
Benson, Pat
Metheny, Toots
Thielemans, Ray
Charles, Michael
Bolton, Celine
Dion, Andrea
Bocelli, Laura
Pausini,
and many others.
In those years, he also co-arranged and produced the song "Non Ci Sto",
which brought the singer Syria to win the contest associated
with the Sanremo Festival in 1996.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, where
he works as a music
producer, session guitar player, songwriter,
and journalist for music magazines.
Here he has done session work with musicians like Billy
Sheehan (bass player with David
Lee Roth, Niacin,
Mr.
Big and solo artist), Aaron
Carter and his brother Nick
Carter, from Backstreet
Boys , Kevon
Edmonds (After7, Baby
Face), Julia
