CLAUDIO
OTTAVIANO

Hello, I'm Claudio, a music producer and artist from Sicily, now based in Milan.

Since 2013, I have been producing music for films, series, commercials and video games. My compositions have been featured in international productions including Empire, Big Shot, Chicago P.D., Your Honor, Poker Face and Somebody Feed Phil, as well as Ubisoft’s The Crew 2.

I spent 20 years as a professional jazz musician, until the Covid pandemic. After studying with Barry Harris, I played around the world with musicians including Roy Hargrove and Charlie Persip.

In Italy, I played bass with Sugarpie & The Candymen, touring extensively for five years and working in radio and television with Renzo Arbore. We also performed with Stefano Bollani. I was the resident jazz double bass player at the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan.

In 2022, I won the European Songwriting Awards in the EDM category.

Away from music: movies, bodyboarding whenever possible, retro-gaming (mostly Nintendo and Genesis) and, of course, writing.
