About Me

ENGLISH
Davide Fusco was born in Naples (Italy). His first red plastic drum-set…(^_^),was given to him at the age of three. owing to his uncles on his mother's side, what he used to listen in his infantry were hystorical bands of the seventies such as Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Genesis etc… He got struck by the music of the English band Talk Talk, whose drummer Lee Harris represented the incitement that pushed him to take his first drumming lessons. After playing in some local cover bands he attended the university of music in Rome having teachers such as Pietro Iodice and Maurizio Boco. At the middle of the nineties he joined the italian dark wave band trees, recording three albums and touring the country. In 1999 he moves to London and stays there until 2004; in these years he works as session-man recording many albums (the latest recently released with the band Idiotboy) and many other groups as 10 snd star, tv 1, superpop, sleepless and a collaboration with Simon Scott, drummer of the hystorical band of the nineties Slowdive. In this five years time the live performances are frantic with over 200 concerts all over britain. At the end of 2005 he was called by the italian band blessed child opera, to promote their second album looking after the child, taking definetly part in the band. he currently lives in Naples.
he play in bands with different music styles. here are just a few:
2005 ended with the release of the debut album of the English band Idiotboy, with whom i played lots of concerts touring great britain. the album is called morning kiss and has come out for nabouchaca (www.nabouchaca.com). a cd that slightly reminds the early Radiohead. in 2006 two works will come out: the former is an anthology of the rockwave band Trees, to be released in may (www.arkrecords.net), the latter will be the new album of the Neapolitan band Blessed Child Opera to be released in September (www.cnimusic.it). i'm currently involved in the sessions of this work that will have the collaboration of several musicians of the San Carlo theatre in Naples.

ITALIANO
Davide Fusco nasce a Napoli. La prima batteria (in plastica rossa..^_^) gli fu regalata all’età di tre anni. Gli ascolti della sua infanzia furono, grazie agli zii materni, gruppi storici degli anni 70, come: Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Genesis. Durante gli inizi degli anni 80 fu folgorato dall’incontro con la musica della band inglese Talk Talk, il cui batterista rappresentò la molla che lo spinse a prendere le prime lezioni di batteria. Dopo aver suonato in alcune cover band locali, si iscrisse all’Università Della Musica a Roma studiando con maestri come Pietro Iodice e Maurizio Boco. A metà degli anni 90 entrò a far parte del gruppo dark-wave Italiano “Trees” con cui ha registrato tre album e tenuto molti concerti in giro per il paese. Nel 99 si trasferisce a Londra e vi resterà fino al 2004. In questo periodo lavorerà come turnista, registrando diversi dischi con: "Idiotboy”, 10snr Star, TV1, Superpop, Sleepless, ed una collaborazione con Simon Scott, Batterista dello storico gruppo degli anni 90 “Slowdive”. In questi cinque anni l’attività live è frenetica con oltre 200 concerti in tutta la Gran Bretagna. Sul finire del 2005 fu contattato dal gruppo Italiano “Blessed Child Opera” per la promozione del loro secondo disco “Looking After The Child “ facendo cosi parte del gruppo. Attualmente vive a Napoli.
