Biography

Appreciated and highly regarded by the likes of Renzo Arbore, Maurizio Costanzo, Fiorello[2] and Michael Bublè with whom he duetted live in Rome in 2007 during Bublè’s concert,[3][4][5] Matteo Brancaleoni is now considered one of the leading Italian interpreters of the American ‘Songbook’. Among the ten best jazz singers in the Italian poll of 2011 voted by the readers of "Jazzit" magazine.[6] His Live Shows at the prestigious Blue Note Jazz Club in Milan have produced a staggering 5 Sold Out Nights.[7][8] Over the years he was fortunate enough to be working, among others, with jazz musicians of the calibre of : Franco Cerri, Renato Sellani, Gianni Basso and Fabrizio Bosso. Often compared to his idol, Frank Sinatra.[9] He was awarded in 2008 as Best New Talent at the Elba Jazz Festival. His debut album "Just Smile" and his second album "Live In Studio" were enthusiastically received by audiences and critics nationally and internationally.[10][11] His record "Live in studio" was for two weeks, the best selling jazz album on iTunes and for six months his Live performances were listed in the live recommended section by the Apple Store.[12][13] His new album "New Life" was conceived from the encounter with the Roman writer and arranger Nerio Poggi (aka Papik), already a writing partner for Mario Biondi in his last two albums. Although filled with jazzy atmospheres "New Life" is also a classic blend of 6 great classics and 5 new original songs arranged with different moods and styles. Journalist, member of IJJA (International Jazz Journalist Association), the IFJ(International Federation of Journalists),[14] he wrote Jazz Magazine and Millionaire. President for two years of the Rotaract Club "Alba Langhe e Roero" (2009-2010) is a member of the Rotary Club of Alba.
