SANTACHIARA live | Luigi Picone in trio

Luigi Picone, born in 1998, born in Alberobello and spent his childhood "on the road" following his street artist parents. He grew up in an environment full of cultural stimuli that would mark his formation. He spent his adolescence in Spoleto before moving to Naples in the Santa Chiara neighborhood, the heart of the city's historic center.
It is from here that he chooses the stage name SANTACHIARA.

Here, he immerses himself in the reality of a lively and stimulating city where he begins to write his notes, sensations, sounds and visions that he will later transform into songs: words and experiences taken from the daily life of a neighborhood, Santa Chiara, which lives in a strong duality, between the lively chaos of the center of the Neapolitan city and a strong tradition.
He became passionate about rap since he was a teenager, but then he outgrew it and began to absorb the most diverse music: from Italian singer-songwriters to rock, passing through techno, classical music and urban music.

He studied piano and guitar and started mixing Radiohead with Mozart and Nirvana on Garage Band, drawing from everything he listens to, and it is a game he plays with his study partner, Andrea.

They don't have a real recording studio so they dismantle the living room at home, building mini works of DIY engineering where chairs and tables hold microphones, mixers, and a PC. What comes out is a melting pot of genres: a "non-genre" in which Santachiara identifies himself and of which he is proud; a music that can be classified more by mood than by styles, music that unites different senses and perceptions.
