Mauro Gallo, founder of SWISSOUND, was born with a great passion for music and sound. After working in the '80s /'90s as a musician, composer and arranger, visiting countless recording studios in Italy, collaborating at the production of many records - from Italian dance to easy listening music, from pop to heavy metal, as well as jazz, fusion and classic - at the end of 1987 he started working at Polivideo SA, a Swiss broadcast company for television and film productions. Throughout 25 years, he worked as a sound engineer, musical composer, audio department manager with increasing responsibilities, collaborating on several television, film and music productions for various international networks, including RAI, MEDIASET, TMC, SKY, ITV, ARTE, SSR SRG and many others. He worked on mobile audio and sound recording studios for programs such as "Festivalbar", "Zelig", "The Giant of Rock", "Concerti alla Scala di Milano", world championships of football, skiing, Formula One, as well as on musical and theatrical performances with artists such as Sting, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Zucchero, Skunk Anansie, Ray Charles, James Brown and BBKing, just to name a few.
Today he works mainly for RSI Radiotelevisione svizzera, the Swiss public broadcasting service, but continues to cultivate his original passion, by composing and producing music for every need - from the commissioned one to his own productions or simply giving advice both to the creative part of music production as a musician and arranger , both to the realization and finalization of the work as Sound Engineer.
