Mario Chianello studied piano at the "G.B. Martini" conservatory in Bologna.

In 1985 he recorded some of his songs with the bands Silvery Down and Nice & Style for Cicco Records in New York and for Match Records in Bellinzona, Switzerland.

Mario worked as an arranger at Chorus Studio in Bologna.

He performed on Telethon (on TV) and in many cultural festivals playing his compositions on the piano.

He also did many church organ concerts.

In 2002 Mario performed with the Didi Balboni band.

He has been playing with the Genesis cover band DOMINO+ since 1996. They perform live and are currentlly recording a double CD.

In April 2005 'One Side Live' DVD was released. Filmed live in Trieste on September 15, 2004, it captures a very energetic performance on a big stage in the evocative main square of the city.

Since 2004 Mario has been sitting in with the band PANZER. They play 70's Disco music and rock from the 80's.

In 2004, his first cd 'Proxima' was released. He recorded the songs for 'Proxima' in his home studio. Listening to the album, they are carried through different musical landscapes, from new age atmospheres to classical piano tracks, from a bagpipe on the hills of Scotland to a pipe organ in Notre Dame and a few other things in between. In a few words: 43 minutes of intense musical emotions.

At the moment Mario is working on his second cd.
