Gabriele Casagrande aka Big House
Gabriele Casagrande, better known by his stage name Big House, showed his artistic talents at an early age, attending music classes and playing classical guitar. Later he studied electric guitar and drums, playing in several local cover groups. In 2010, he began to approach the hip hop music genre, writing and composing instrumentals that were self-taught. In 2013, he founded the crew Birrette Family and opened the home studio BHL Records, located in Trento, Italy where he recorded the first group’s project and various other musical projects. In 2014 he moved to Milan to start Audio Engineering & Music Technology courses at the Accademia del Suono. In 2017, he moved to Manchester to complete his studies and graduate at Futureworks University.Big House’s musical sound is characterized by the use of synthesizers and samplers, mixed with the use of acoustic batteries & breakbeats, blending the boom-bap period with the new sound school. The producer is open to other genres and new musical experiments, derived from the study and the pursuit of a personal style.Credit List (Updated in December 2017)PRODUCTION & MIXING • Birrette Family – Birrette Ep (2013).
