About Me


Simone Borghi, born in Ancona in 1975, at the age of 15 became one of the most active rock musicians in the Marche region. After a decade of paying dues in Italy, Simone reached the US, Los Angeles to be precise, and there recorded his first two CDs, For many years (2004) and By the moon (2006), in collaboration with musician and producer James Raymond (son of David Crosby of CSN&Y), world famous drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (who has recorded with Sting, Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock and Jeff Beck), and bassist Tony Levin (collaborator of musicians the likes of Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, King Crimson, Paul Simon, Lou Reed and David Bowie). In 2007 Borghi produced State of grace documentary DVD & BOOK which tells about his musical history in California and in 2008 he recorded the album On line with the collaboration of Toto members Steve Lukather and Simon Phillips, guitarists Frank Gambale, Dean Parks and Brian Ray (from Paul McCartney’s band) and jazz pianist from New York City, Rachel Z. Some Italian artists such as Linda, Giampiero Ingrassia, Matia Bazar’s vocalist Roberta Faccani and Roberto Gualdi (drummer for Lucio Dalla, PFM, Enzo Iannacci and Dolcenera) plays on the new CD. Simone Borghi, nato ad Ancona nel 1975, all’età di quindici anni diventa uno dei musicisti rock più attivi della regione Marche. Dopo un decennio di gavetta in giro per l’Italia Simone raggiunge gli Stati Uniti, e precisamente Los Angeles, dove realizza i suoi CD, For many years (2004) e il singolo By the moon (2006) in collaborazione con il musicista e produttore James Raymond (figlio di David Crosby dei Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), il batterista di fama mondiale Vinnie Colaiuta (che ha inciso anche con Sting, Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock e Jeff Beck) e il bassista Tony Levin (collaboratore di personaggi del calibro di Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, King Crimson, Paul Simon, Lou Reed e David Bowie). Nel 2007 Borghi produce il DVD & BOOK State of grace documentary che racconta le sue esperienze musicali californiane e nel 2008 realizza il CD On line con la collaborazione di Steve Lukather e Simon Phillips dei Toto, i chitarristi Frank Gambale, Dean Parks e Brian Ray (musicista della band di Paul McCartney) e la pianista jazz newyorkese Rachel Z. Il nuovo disco vede anche la partecipazione di alcuni artisti italiani tra i quali Linda, Giampiero Ingrassia, Roberta Faccani (cantante dei Matia Bazar) e il batterista Roberto Gualdi che collabora con Lucio Dalla, PFM, Enzo Iannacci e Dolcenera.
