Biography Alberto Giurioli
Alberto Giurioli
Raised in a small Italian town near Venice, pianist-composer Alberto Giurioli (born 1991) started playing the piano at age four. He was influenced by many genres, from metal to blues, and performed with different bands while growing up. After finishing his studies at the conservatory of music “Francesco Venezze” and earning his degree in international economics, Alberto decided to leave his home and head to London in 2015.
The beginning of his new life there was complicated. He found himself in a new city without knowing the language well, and lived in a shared flat, which made it impossible for him to own a piano. The only way for him to practice was to perform on the street pianos in St. Pancras Station. In time, playing them led him to gain attention through a Facebook viral video taken by a Huffington Post journalist.
Ever since, his songs have been streamed over 8 million times on Spotify, with the song “Tutto e Bellissimo” reaching #1 on the iTunes Classical Chart. His music has been featured in advertisements for brands such as Porsche and BT Sports Champion League and has been played on Scala Radio, ABC (Australia) and Classic FM (UK) and other stations.
Alberto was inducted into the Classic FM Hall of Fame, making him the youngest composer ever to receive that honor. While preparing his album “Life,” Alberto has been working on a new independent film in India.
