Welcome to Cimino U Zone
My name is Umberto Cimino, maybe Michael Cimino's nephew, the film director, so if someone knows him please contact me...I can't stand people who put in their "about me" every breath of their life, so I'll try to make mine as short as possible...I am an italian musician/producer living in London...I've been doing music all my life... 3 years old... beating pianos, crashing baby-drums and pretending to play a guitar bigger than me...9 years old...starting to play the violin at italian conservatorio...after a couple of years I met an electric bass and fell in love with it...so i carried on my double relationship with the bass and the violin...16 yo... my first live gigs with a few bands playing bass and sometimes keyboards... I also fell in love with computers (Apple/Mac forever...), synth and studio recording stuff, starting my first music productions...so my destiny was marked...19 yo...I got my conservatory diploma just in time before I was sucked into the music business, working as a producer in many recording studios, playing bass and keyboard, producing and collaborating in studio and on stage with well-known Italian artists, as well as with internationally renowned musicians such as Mike Stern, Nana Vasconcelos, Roger Taylor (Queen's drummer) and others...during all these years I set up my own recording studio and also signed as an artist in Italy with Majors such as WEA and Universal, playing live gigs, getting regular radio airplay, reaching top charts and appearing in important Italian TV music shows...then I moved to London, where I' ve been living for a few years, carrying on my music project with my record label WatchOut Records...
