My name is Davide Bianchi aka Davide Swarup.
I' m born in Italy, in Como on September 23rd 1974.
Somehow music was always stimulating me as I grew up in a small town called Capena. At age of 15 I played bass guitar in an “Iron Maiden” cover band called Nefastum until the age of 20, more or less...
Then I experienced a shifting in my motivation to play music. I started to listen to different music genres (rock, blues, jazz, psychedelic, folk and etno) not only "Iron" anymore (my first music love). That's how i got my feeling for music.
Then I went to India...Mamma India. I went back and forth for a few times and i met musicians, cultures and instruments from all over the world and start to play percussions, the indian santoor and...JAM!!!!! That's how I learned to play music..listening and jamming!!! I don't know music but I can feel it!
Feeling to move from Italy, following the music and coincidences, In October 2004 I arrived in Amsterdam where the Hang was waiting for me and where I still living in these days, being mostly a street musician but also performing in coffee shops, party and clubs.
After the release of the solo Cd "Music for Hang" supported by
I'm again an independent musician and is time for team work now! A lot of fun with Mr.Jeff Hijlkema, you can listen to the song Coptic.
And more is coming...so let see what the future will bring. So...have a beautiful day and thank you to pass by!:):):)
Thank you to all, my family, friends, tribe and to existence!
And after all the blah blah blah here some pictures and videos but don't forget, before you go, to sit, close your eyes and enjoy the music ;):)Who care!!!

Si, ma io come te credo più nella musica che nelle parole. La musica è più sincera e profonda. Ti auguro veramente tanta tanta fortuna perchè te lo meriti veramente, bravo, mi piace moltissimo quello che fai e come lo fai.
