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!!!

With
Gentry Bronson (USA) The punk pianist with a lot of panache
INFO in Dutch_: Een jaar geleden bracht Gentry Bronson zijn Engelstalige versie van de Boudewijn de Groot klassieker Avond uit. Naar aanleiding daarvan bezocht De Groot een optreden van de Amerikaan, complimenteerde Bronson met diens vertolking en nodigde hem uit voor verdere samenwerking. Per email stuurde De Groot enkele vertaalde nummers aan Bronson. Tijdens de komende tournee zal hij zijn bewerkingen hiervan voor het eerst presenteren aan het Nederlandse publiek.
Gentry Bronson is zelf ook een begenadigd songschrijver. Hij werd al eens omschreven als 'Tori Amos met ballen' en vergeleken met Tom Waits, Billy Joel, Michael Stipe en Nick Cave. Op zijn nieuwe EP staan vier nieuwe eigen nummers. Voor deze tracks werkte Bronson samen met diverse muzikanten en engineers uit San Francisco en Los Angeles, waaronder Ken Lee, die onder andere verantwoordelijk was voor de remastering van Nirvana's Nevermind.
De laatste paar jaar heeft Bronson zich echter steeds meer ontwikkeld tot een unieke vakman, componist en een opwindende showman. Met zijn vele live optredens heeft hij enorm aan publiek gewonnen, onder meer onder liefhebbers van rock, pop, americana, folk, jazz, blues en ambient. Tijdens zijn optredens waarbij hij zichzelf op piano begeleidt weet hij bij mensen zowel een gevoelige snaar te raken als hen te vermaken met duivels en bevreemdend bluescabaret dat van zweet is doordrenkt.
