Tommaso Colliva

Biography

How does a Grammy Award winner (with a few nominations under his belt) and an array of gold and platinum records adorning his studio walls emerge from the idyllic and sun-kissed Italian seaside town of Cinque Terre?

The journey begins in his teenage years, where Tommaso immersed himself in the world of records, samples, radio shows, beats, and spray cans while diligently completing high school. His quest led him to Milan, the backdrop for the largest Italian recording studio, where he collaborated with luminaries such as Erykah Badu, Michael Nyman, and Manu Chao.

After spending pivotal years participating in diverse sessions and learning from industry heavyweights like Butch Vig, Mutt Lange, Spike Stent, Rich Costey, John Parish, and Jim Abbiss, Tommaso took the freelance route, embarking on a global odyssey.

Fast forward 15 years, and Tommaso now presides over his own remarkable studio in Milan. Beyond achieving prominence as one of Italy’s leading producers, he continues to engage with international projects. Notably, his musical prowess has left an imprint on Grammy-winning albums, with Dr. Dre and Jay-Z sampling his work.
