Daniele Luppi (born January 1, 1972) is an Italian film composer, television composer, and record producer. He has been nominated for two Emmy Awards and has collaborated with artists including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley, Depeche Mode, Danger Mouse, Jack White, and John Legend.

Biography

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

Luppi has also released a series of albums inspired by different eras of Italian music. His first album, An Italian Story, was published in 2004 and draws influence from vintage 1960s and 1970s soundstage compositions, while featuring contributions from members of Marc 4. A later album, Rome, published in 2011, features collaborations with Jack White, Norah Jones, and Danger Mouse. MILANO, Luppi's 2017 album, features Karen O and Parquet Courts and focuses on Luppi's experiences in Milan during the 1980s, offering a reflection on the city's cultural and social atmosphere during that period.

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. Additionally, he contributed string arrangements to Dave Gahan and Soulsavers' Imposter, John Legend's Once Again and Get Lifted, and Mike Patton's Mondo Cane.
