DANIELE “MANGUSS” CAGNOTTO
Manguss, born Daniele Cagnotto, is an italian self-taught guitar player, songwriter, arranger and occasionally singer, bass player and fx programmer, based in North Carolina since 2012.
As his main background comes from hard rock music, he’s always been open minded and willing to explore a lot of different genres since his musical tastes go from rock and metal to pop, hip hop, electronic music, ambient, blues and more.
This unstoppable constant research is the reason why he has been taking part to so many different bands and projects. His career saw him playing for the black metal band MORTUARY DRAPE, the electronic projects DC PROJECT, SENSORY GATE, MATRIX MERETRIX, the ambient psychedelic band NG (NORTHGATE) and different hard rock bands such as LYMPH OF WISDOOM, WARNIPPLES and SHOWDOWN BOULEVARD, bringing to all of these projects his songwriting and arranging skills, besides his playing.
The guitar players that he considers sources of great inspiration for his own style are artists such as Jimmy Page, Billy Duffy, Vernon Reid, Rich Robinson, Eddie Hazel, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Slash, Dr. Know, Eric Clapton and many many others.
Over the years he shared the stage with many artists of different musical background such as Living Colour, Adam Bomb, Tim Ripper Owens, Joe Delia, Aaron Mills of Cameo, Delaney McQuaig etc.
Manguss has been collaborating on regular basis with many bands and artists such as TOKYO ROSENTHAL, GRIND, SHOWDOWN BOULEVARD, NG (Northgate), LIQUID GALAXIES with BROTHA BERRY, ANTHONY LEONARD PIERRE, WADE DURHAM, SAM HUNTER and many more.
