BIOGRAPHY:
Dario was born in January 3th, 1979. His native city is Palermo (Italy). He learnt to play guitar at the age of seven years. After some lessons with Toti Basso and Giuseppe Bellanca ,two very famous classical guitarplayers in Italy, he excelled all the exams for the "Vincenzo Bellini" music school in Palermo. Here he studied classical guitar and musical theory for two years. In the meanwhile Dario , with his brothers Max and Alex Grillo, formed the band "Dragon's Breath" , a melodic Hard-rock act with grunge and punk influences. They played many live shows around their country and recorded two demos (Arcana and Notturna). In 1997, Dario Knew Claudio Diprima (drummer of Thy Majestie). They played together for the "Cherry bombz" band , the first real street-glam band in Palermo. At the same time, Dario began to study singing. The love for singing drove him to participate to some stages with Elizabeth Sabine (singing-master of Axl Rose, Dave Mustaine, Ron Keel, Love Hate ecc.). In 1998 he joined the main band of Claudio, "Thy Majestie" . Dario adapted his vocal style very soon to the sound of the band. The original and clear voice of Dario gave to the music of the band , the feeling of AOR and the power of heavy metal. In october 2003, after two albums ("The Lasting Power" and "hastings 1066") and one Ep named "Echoes of war", Dario left Thy Majestie to dedicate all his talent in PLATENS , the new musical project in which he plays all the instruments. "Between Two Horizons" , the debut album , was released in october 2004 by Frontiers records, the most important label of Hard Rock in the world. Today Dario is composing new material for the PLATENS' second album and recording the first release of the new gothic metal sensation from Italy, VIOLET SUN, led by the soprano Alessandra Amata.
