Biography

Luppi has scored several films, including American comedy Assassination of a High School President , starring Bruce Willis, and Mexican independent film Bad Habits. He received Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music" in 2014 and 2015, for his work on STARZ's Magic City and Netflix's Marco Polo, respectively. [1]

Luppi has also released a series of albums inspired by different eras of Italian music. His first album, An Italian Story, draws influence from vintage 1960s and 1970s soundstage compositions and features contributions from members of Marc 4. [2] Rome , which followed, featured collaborations with Jack White, Norah Jones, and Danger Mouse. MILANO, Luppi's 2017 album, featuring Karen O and Parquet Courts, serves as the final installment in this series exploring Italian music heritage. MILANO focuses on Luppi's experiences in Milan during the 1980s, offering a reflection on the city's cultural and social atmosphere during that period. [3]

Luppi has written collaborative arrangements for The Getaway by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley's debut St. Elsewhere, and the self-titled album from Broken Bells. [4] [5] He also contributed string arrangements for Dave Gahan and Soulsavers' Imposter , John Legend's Once Again , Get Lifted , and Mike Patton's Mondo Cane .
