About Me

GIUSEPPE PATANE' is aBass Player/Songwriter/Arranger/Producer/Ex-Mediator from Bagnara Calabra, Calabria, Italy........Also called: Patanex, Pata, Patane', Bizarro...........Giuseppe started playing acoustic guitar at the age of 13 and bass became his main instrument around 15. Self-taught, after several years as performer and arranger in Milan and a short-intense period of sessions and recordings at Berklee College of Music in Boston, he finally moved to LA. His ability to fuse African music, Jamaican reggae and western pop and rock with a little bit of “tarantella” (native to his homeland Calabria) into one special sound is always exciting to watch and hear.
