Davide Lo Surdo, born on July 24, 1999, in Rome, is an Italian guitarist who, thanks to his speed on the instrument, will remain eternal.
Rolling Stone Brazil magazine has described him as the fastest guitarist in the history of music, capable of playing 129 notes per second.
His signature guitar has been permanently given to the Museum of Historical Instruments in the USA called “Sigal”, where also instruments played by iconic musicians like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Fryderyk Chopin are preserved.
Lo Surdo is on the cover and is featured in the book dedicated to the history of music, “Rock Memories Vol. 2”, written by Maurizio Baiata, alongside legendary artists such as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and John Lennon.
Discovering his passion for playing the guitar at the tender age of 9, Lo Surdo began taking lessons from a priest in a local church in Rome, inspired by his neighbor. His mother is Sandra Giorgio, and his father is Maurizio Lo Surdo.
On November 20, 2021, Lo Surdo performed at the “Rolling Stone Music & Run” event, celebrating the 15th anniversary of Rolling Stone Magazine in Brazil, at the “Sambódromo do Anhembi” arena in São Paulo. In the same year, GuitarraMX Magazine recognized Lo Surdo as “the fastest guitarist in the history of music” and featured him on the cover of their July 2021 edition.
Davide toured all around the world in countries such as India, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and his home country, Italy.
In 2019, Lo Surdo was awarded at the Sanremo Music Awards in Venice, Italy, as the fastest guitarist of all time.
