CLAUDIO OTTAVIANO

  Hello, I'm Claudio, a 39-year-old originally from Sicily, now residing in Milan.

The music I have composed has been featured in international shows such as Empire (FOX), Big Shot (Disney), Chicago P.D. (NBC), Your Honor (CBS), Madam Secretary (CBS), Cupcake And Dino (Netflix), Valeria (Netflix), A Perfect Story (Netflix), IF ONLY (Netflix), Chicago Med (NBC), Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol (Netflix), Queen Sugar (OWN), Class Act (Netflix), Record Of Youth (Netflix), For Life (ABC), Rust Valley Restorers (Netflix), Dante Confidential (RAI), Monty Don’s Adriatic Gardens (BBC), Vegas Rat Rods (Discovery), Somebody Feed Phil (Netflix), The Good Fight (Paramount+), Encounter, Namjachingu (TvN), Everybody Say Kungdary, Proceder (Global Studio), Due Con (RAI), When Weather Is Fine (JTBC), Una Vida Menos en Canarias (Antena 3), Cafè Minamdang (Netflix), Las últimas horas de Mario Biondo (Netflix) and also in video games like The Crew 2 by Ubisoft.  

I was a professional jazz musician for 20 years until the Covid pandemic. After studying with the legendary Barry Harris, I played around the world with great jazz musicians like Roy Hargrove, Charlie Persip, and many more. In Italy, I worked as a bass player for the band Sugarpie & The Candymen, and we toured extensively for 5 years, also working in radio and television with the iconic Italian legend Renzo Arbore. We also played with the famous pianist Stefano Bollani. 

I also worked as the resident Jazz double bass player at the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan and in 2022, I was honored with the 

European Songwriting Awards in the EDM category. 

My hobbies include watching movies, bodyboarding when possible, retro-gaming (mostly Nintendo and Genesis) and off course writing :-)
