About Me:
 
Paolo Pedana is a drummer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and author of most of the music and lyrics of the Symphonic Metal band Overshade and the Rock band Anthropos. Paolo was born on 25th March 1987 in a small Umbrian town in Italy: Umbertide. He has an older sister and brother. His father was a drummer and disc jockey, in fact, Paolos interest in music was stimulated at young age thanks to his father and his enormous collection of records that went from the 70s hard rock to contemporary music. Music was very appreciaded in his family, specially by his mother. He therefore starts to take interest as a small boy and ever since hes loved anything thats music. At only 7 he starts to take piano lessons from Vittorio Angeletti. After a few years, apart from hard rock and the mythical Deep Purple, Paolo starts listening to progressive metal groups like Dream Theater, SymphonyX, Adagio, Transatlantic etc. At 14 he quits his piano studies to dedicate his time to musical theory of composition and his favourite instruments: the drums. At 14 he starts taking drumming lessons from Stefano Coletti from whom he will learn part of the tecniques. After a short time he starts to play with local bands: Upkeep and Etherlords. On 4th June 2003 Paolo was run-over by a bus and was almost dying. This accident, that Paolo describes as a real nightmare, will strongly influence his life in the following years. Admitted in hospital, Paolo ordered his first electronic drum set, a Yamaha DTXPRESS II and continued to practice with headphones in his hospital bed. After various months hes discharged and starts to write his first cd of Symphony From The Deep soundtracks composed of 11 songs created with various synthetizers and other instruments of orchestral reproduction. In 2004 the cd s presented to the great composer Giampiero Reverberi, who had gone to Umbertide for a live performance and had been very impressed by young Paolos musical ideas. In 2005 Paolo decides to carry out the Overshade project. Initially the proposal was accepted by Tommaso Maria Guerri, Giorgio Gustinelli and then, after some hesitation, by Michele Palafreni and Alessandro Bravi. In June 2005 Paolo starts to write his first demo, the first official one of the band: Seven Visions of a Broken Life In the meantime he is contacted by some of heavy metal cover band called Hellraiser. The band starts to perform in central Italy proposing Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Helloween songs. While Paolo was involved withthe cover band he proposes Cesare Capaccioni to join in the band. Initially Cesare accepts only for studio recordings but subsequently decides to stay definitely in the formation . On 2008 Paolo wrote and composed 36 songs for both Overshade and Anthropos, then he started to go on tour around the world with the rock band. In the 2010 Paolo met the director Terry Gilliam by chance and decided, since his great passion for the director's works, to dedicate a song to him called "Strangers of The Nowhere". After some months since that meeting, Paolo and Terry met again in a cinematographics festival where Paolo and the band delivered the dedicated song to Terry who was really glad and surprised for that.


EXTRA:
When he was 19 he lived for some time with a Native American tribe , Paolo describes it as one of the most profound experiences he's ever done. The tattoo that Paolo has on his right forearm, depicts the legendary Native American warrior "Crazy Horse", he wanted to dedicate it after knowing the great-grandson Duane Hollow Horn Bear in the tribe.
He is a huge fan of the television series "Family Guy".
In 2010 he was almost arrested by Los Angeles police after an argument in the famous club Viper Room, Paolo raised his elbow a little too much that night, although he describes the prank very funny because the band playing in the club that night was very interesting.
He has a cat called "unknown" and spends all his money in instruments
In 2007 Paolo received a gold medal at the championships Shorei Kan Karate International.
The surgery that he underwent when he had his accident is considered one of the first ever made in Italy in 2003.
Paolo is very keen on native american and oriental philosophy. He loves Indian flutes and Okinawas martial arts. He also has a great interest in cinema. Paolo is a very reserved person and he doesn't like to call himself a drummer or an artist, but simply prefer to define himself a music's "artisan".
