Willie Peyote

He doesn't like to be called a rapper or a singer-songwriter, due to stereotypes and clichés, but both the spontaneous fluidity of hip hop and the political consciousness of the best singer-songwriters are present in his songs. Guglielmo Bruno (born in Turin in 1985) is a pillar of Italian jazz-funk-hip hop, a title that no one can dispute.

He dived into the rap world in 2004, when he was just 19 years old, and through his songs, he has channeled his passion for capturing the surrounding reality. This was already evident when he capped his Political Science career with a thesis on the riots that followed the death of Rodney King in Los Angeles in 1992. He has six albums to his name, the latest being “Pornostalgia” (2022), and a handful of EPs, among which his most recent work, the exuberant Sulla riva del fiume (2024), leaning towards jazz-funk, stands out.
