Michele Luppi

Michele Luppi, born in 1974 in Italy, was attracted to music even as a small child, and he began by learning to play the piano. It was, however, in 1990 that he discovered his voice, and since that moment, live performances, studying, new discoveries and successes consistently followed; thanks also to incessant and very hard work. In 98 he graduated in singing from VIT in Los Angelese and, returned to Italy, he began a series of collaborations that brought him experience and some fame, by singing with some of the greatest Italian and international artists, including Maurizio Solieri, Andrea Braido, Glenn Hughes and Ian Paice. While his style of singing has become very personal and unique, Michele also pursued teaching with great passion, working both with the biggest Italian music schools and with private students. His band MR.PIG livens up any concert or show, and captures the attention of both the audience and the venue workers and their fame is rising. He participated also in 2 Umberto Tozzis World Tours as keyboardist and back vocals, between 2002 and 2003. In September 2003 Vision Divine asked Michele to become the new singer of the band and to actively participate in the making of Stream of Consciousness. The album, which was released worldwide in April and May 2004, was praised highly by the music press and by various web-zines around the world. His first solo album STRIVE is now available!
