Daniele Luppi is an Italian composer and music producer who has been active since 1999. He is an Emmy-nominated film and television composer[1] and has worked with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley, and John Legend.

As a film composer, Luppi has scored a number of productions including Assassination of a High School President starring Bruce Willis, and the award-winning Indie film Bad Habits. His notable work in television includes an "Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music"[2] Emmy nomination for Netflix's Marco Polo and STARZ's Magic City.

Beyond the scoring stage and in the studio, Luppi has released a series of works showcasing different eras of Italian music. His first album, An Italian Story, pays homage to vintage 60s and 70s soundstage compositions and features contributions by members from Marc 4. Rome, a conceptual follow-up, was described as "purely gorgeous" by Pitchfork,[3] and marked a move into the mainstream, earning praised for its collaborations with Jack White, Norah Jones and Danger Mouse. MILANO, Luppi's 2017 full-length album featuring Karen O and Parquet Courts, is the final volume of his Italian trilogy. While his earlier work drew on a cinematic era in Italian music, MILANO explores the 1980s New York no wave and punk scene and its impact on Milanese music, fashion and high-art, serving as a finale celebrating Italy's arts and culture.

Luppi has written collaborative arrangements for The Getaway by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley's debut St. Elsewhere, and the self-titled album from Broken Bells. He has also contributed string arrangements for Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, John Legend's R&B album Once Again, and Faith No More/Mr. Bungle front man Mike Patton.
