Rising Stars: Meet Gabriele Deliperi of Burbank

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gabriele Deliperi.

Hi Gabriele , we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Gabriele Deliperi is an Italian composer based in Los Angeles, working in film, television, and commercial music. He also works in music production and mixing, with experience across pop albums, ensemble writing, and orchestral music. Gabriele has released three studio albums as an artist and has built experience through hundreds of recording sessions across Europe and the United States.

Born in 1997 in La Spezia, Italy, Gabriele’s artistic career began on the Italian live and indie circuit, fronting projects that led to three studio albums: #Dipendenti (OldWine, 2015), Il Mio Caffè (Alchimia, 2017), and Musica Dens (Dheli & Macs, 2022). His live performance credits across Italy include standout appearances at Milan’s Alcatraz and the Bologna Musica d’Autore (BMA) festival.

Gabriele holds a degree in Writing, Production, and Music Technology from the CPM Music Institute in Milan, alongside an Associate of Arts in Music Composition and Theory (Highest Honors) from Bunker Hill Community College in Boston. His engineering background includes work in prominent recording environments, such as Bulls Recordz in Italy, House of Hits in Miami, and The Mix Loft in Boston, and he is now actively working in Los Angeles.

Some of Gabriele’s most recent work includes the animation series The Floodbringer – The Last Stand of the Common Man, and Silent Shots, a series currently in progress. He is also finishing the production for the Italian artist AKU and collaborating with Dea Lazzari on a new project. Additionally, Gabriele works as a music copyist, frequently helping the North Shore Big Band from Salem, MA, by transcribing their music and writing big band arrangements.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road has been anything but smooth. People often think that just because we do what we love, it isn’t real work. But that is exactly where you have to draw the line: if you treat music like a hobby, it will stay a hobby.
Early in my career, I lost a lot of relationships with other musicians because they weren’t taking the work seriously enough. It took a few years of pushing through before I finally started meeting my people collaborators who wanted to build a real career just like I did. Ultimately, being an artist has a lot to do with your mindset. You have to be willing to sacrifice a big part of your social life, missing out on parties, friendships, and birthdays just to get the work done.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am probably most known for producing the track ‘MAMMA!’ for successful Italian songwriter Giulia Mei, and for composing the original score for the animated series The Floodbringer – The Last Stand of the Common Man.

But behind those specific credits is a core philosophy: contrary to the old industry advice of picking just one lane, I believe you have to be a chameleon. You need to know how to do a bit of everything. If you don’t, it becomes incredibly difficult to truly empathize with the artists you collaborate with. That is exactly why my work lives at the intersection of three fields: film composition, music production, and mixing.

Because I understand the ecosystem from all three sides, I can speak the artist’s language at every stage of the process. As a composer, my job is to translate the story’s emotional landscape into an orchestral score. As a producer, I help artists build their sonic architecture from the ground up. And as an engineer who has tracked and mixed in studios across Europe and the US, I handle the raw technical reality of making a record sound pristine.

What sets me apart is this chameleon approach. Because I can write a chart for a big band, build a pop track, and mix a final master, I can bridge the gap between a fragile creative vision and the final technical delivery. Taking a project completely from the first spark of an idea to the finish line is exactly what I am most proud of.

Ultimately, what truly sets me apart is the human connection I build with the artists I work with. I want to establish a real relationship first, and only then do we start talking about the art. I firmly believe that music lives where genuine human connections are. The moment you start overthinking the business side, or focusing on how you can take advantage of a situation, the relationship falls apart and the music dies with it

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
What truly makes me happy are slow mornings and reading books about mindset and mental health. I firmly believe that human beings are simply not built to live at the frantic pace that modern society demands from us. We are constantly pressured to rush, but we need to go back to where we started, to a more natural, human rhythm. Taking that quiet, deliberate time for myself at the start of the day is how I protect my mind. It allows me to disconnect from the noise, stay grounded, and approach my work and my relationships from a place of peace rather than stress.
