THE PERSON BEHIND THE SOUND
ABOUT ROBERTO
From the stage
to the control room.
Born in Bologna, Italy, Roberto Priori began his musical journey on classical guitar before discovering electric guitar and the energy of rock. In the early 1980s he founded Danger Zone, releasing the band's debut album Victim of Time in 1984.
After years of touring and recording, including a move to Los Angeles with Danger Zone, Roberto built a career that bridges performance and production. He has worked as a session guitarist, producer and sound engineer, collaborating with Italian artists and international rock musicians.
Today his work spans guitar recording, music production, mixing and mastering. From his own PriStudio in Bologna, he brings decades of musical experience to every project — always in service of the artist and the song.
