Matteo Mancuso

Matteo Mancuso, born in 1996, a guitar prodigy, approached the world of music at an early age thanks to his father Vincenzo. He enrolled in a music high school where he deepened his studies in classical guitar and founded the trio “SNIPS.” With this trio, he released the famous version of “The Chicken,” which quickly reached millions of views across various social media platforms.

In 2019, he began a collaboration with Yamaha Guitars, taking part in the NAMM Show in Los Angeles, the “Young Guitar Festival” in Bangkok, and several masterclasses in Russia (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Perm).

In 2020, Matteo formed a new trio with Stefano India on bass and Giuseppe Bruno on drums, and began focusing on his compositional side by presenting his first original songs. This marked the beginning of his first intense live activity in Italy and Europe, which took place throughout 2021/2022.

On July 21, 2023, his first solo album, titled “The Journey,” was released. This work outlines his authentic and multifaceted musical nature and marks the start of a new concert cycle with his new lineup, featuring Riccardo Oliva on bass and Gianluca Pellerito on drums. This tour will continue throughout 2024 with more than 50 concerts across the United States and Europe.
