Michele Scheveger (born 27 March 1989) is an Italian producer. Michele is a member of electronic music duo The C.I.P. He plays guitar, keyboards and synthesizers.

Early life

Michele was born in Tuscany (Italy) in 1989. He grew up listening to a big variety of music including ambient, post rock, rap and pop - dance music. Being introduced to electronic music by his friend Simone he started to play and write for what would have become "The C.I.P". It took approximately two years to get things ready; after changing line up a few times, Simone and Michele came to the conclusion that the two formed a perfect balance and that was the best line up they've ever had. Was in 2013 that Michele got in touch with Antonio Filippelli, producer and quite big name in the music industry, having played for "Vanilla Sky" in the World Tour and working for Emi and Sony. Michele left to Australia in February 2014, where he found a "vivid and amazing" music scene, that helped him having a clearer vision and influenced him a lot.

Music career

Michele officially starts his music career in early 2013 signing for Volcan Records and recording "Daydream". He has a really active role in The C.I.P, writing lyrics, taking care of the arrangements using synthesizers, samplers, drum machines and mac programs such as Logic, Ableton, Reason etc.
