Biography

Luigi Paraventi (born March 16, 2005 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian drummer, known for his early prominence on the music scene. Luigi started playing drums at the age of 8, encouraged by a family of musicians. Always inspired by artists from Fusion to Metal, Luigi focuses on creating a technical sound, but at the same time light and modern throughout his executions, compositions and interpretations on the instrument. In 2023, at the age of 18, he was chosen to play with guitarist Kiko Loureiro (solo / Megadeth) in shows throughout Brazil, being recognized as a great promise on the music scene. In addition, he performs as a sideman with regional and international artists, studio/recording work, and performs in drum clinics and masterclasses, showing his versatility of styles and personifying his technique.
