Davide Rossi, arranger, composer, conductor has contributed so much to Coldplay along with many other great bands, The Verve, George Ezra, Ed Sheeran, Goldfrapp and is a member of Black Submarine. We thought he deserved his own thread!

 

From Davide's Website:

 

 

“Davide Rossi has played most if not all of the strings on the last three Coldplay albums. He is a real joy to work with. His “one man string section” technique is a wonder to behold and enables us to work one on one for hours, giving the string tracks a special focus and making them more than a production afterthought. He plays so well and is such a pleasure to be around. I cannot recommend him highly enough.” Chris Martin (Coldplay)

 

 

 

Here is a place to post some of his great tweets, posts and insta's!

(tried to go back to the start with anything Coldplay related) I will add more just wanted to get the juice flowing!
